How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 13 = 12.61
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.61 ÷ 13 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/13, so part = 97 × 13 ÷ 100 = 12.61. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*13. 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

12.61 is the 97% share of 13. The remaining 3% is 0.39, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $13 saves $12.61, so you pay $0.39.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 13 by 97% gives 25.61 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.39. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 0.7683, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
