How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 32 = 31.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.04 ÷ 32 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/32, so part = 97 × 32 ÷ 100 = 31.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*32. 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

31.04 is the 97% share of 32. The remaining 3% is 0.96, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $32 saves $31.04, so you pay $0.96.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 32 by 97% gives 63.04 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.96. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.8912, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
