How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 59 = 57.23
- Check: Work backwards: 57.23 ÷ 59 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/59, so part = 97 × 59 ÷ 100 = 57.23. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 59 by 97% gives 116.23 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.77. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.4869, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
