How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 33 = 32.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.01 ÷ 33 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/33, so part = 97 × 33 ÷ 100 = 32.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*33. 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

32.01 is the 97% share of 33. The remaining 3% is 0.99, and the two parts add back up to 33.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $33 saves $32.01, so you pay $0.99.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 33 by 97% gives 65.01 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.99. These do not cancel out: raising 33 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.9503, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
