How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 97 = 93.12
- Check: Work backwards: 93.12 ÷ 97 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/97, so part = 96 × 97 ÷ 100 = 93.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*97. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
93.12 is the 96% share of 97. The remaining 4% is 3.88, and the two parts add back up to 97.
Discounts: 96% off an item priced $97 saves $93.12, so you pay $3.88.
Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 97 by 96% gives 190.12 and decreasing it by 96% gives 3.88. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 7.6048, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
