How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 27 = 26.19
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.19 ÷ 27 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/27, so part = 97 × 27 ÷ 100 = 26.19. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*27. 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

26.19 is the 97% share of 27. The remaining 3% is 0.81, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $27 saves $26.19, so you pay $0.81.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 27 by 97% gives 53.19 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.81. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.5957, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
