How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 49 = 47.53
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.53 ÷ 49 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/49, so part = 97 × 49 ÷ 100 = 47.53. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*49. 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

47.53 is the 97% share of 49. The remaining 3% is 1.47, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $49 saves $47.53, so you pay $1.47.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 49 by 97% gives 96.53 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.47. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.8959, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
