How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 36 = 34.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 34.92 ÷ 36 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/36, so part = 97 × 36 ÷ 100 = 34.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*36. 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

34.92 is the 97% share of 36. The remaining 3% is 1.08, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $36 saves $34.92, so you pay $1.08.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 36 by 97% gives 70.92 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.08. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.1276, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
