How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 15 = 14.55
- Check: Work backwards: 14.55 ÷ 15 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/15, so part = 97 × 15 ÷ 100 = 14.55. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*15. 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
14.55 is the 97% share of 15. The remaining 3% is 0.45, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 97% off an item priced $15 saves $14.55, so you pay $0.45.
Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 15 by 97% gives 29.55 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.45. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 0.8865, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
