How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 55 = 53.35
- Check: Work backwards: 53.35 ÷ 55 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/55, so part = 97 × 55 ÷ 100 = 53.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*55. 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
53.35 is the 97% share of 55. The remaining 3% is 1.65, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 55 by 97% gives 108.35 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.65. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.2505, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
