How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 51 = 49.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 49.47 ÷ 51 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/51, so part = 97 × 51 ÷ 100 = 49.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*51. 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

49.47 is the 97% share of 51. The remaining 3% is 1.53, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $51 saves $49.47, so you pay $1.53.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 51 by 97% gives 100.47 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.53. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.0141, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
