How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 57 = 55.29
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.29 ÷ 57 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/57, so part = 97 × 57 ÷ 100 = 55.29. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*57. 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

55.29 is the 97% share of 57. The remaining 3% is 1.71, and the two parts add back up to 57.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $57 saves $55.29, so you pay $1.71.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 57 by 97% gives 112.29 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.71. These do not cancel out: raising 57 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.3687, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
