How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 28 = 27.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.16 ÷ 28 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/28, so part = 97 × 28 ÷ 100 = 27.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*28. 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

27.16 is the 97% share of 28. The remaining 3% is 0.84, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $28 saves $27.16, so you pay $0.84.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 28 by 97% gives 55.16 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.84. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.6548, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
