How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 7 = 6.79
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.79 ÷ 7 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/7, so part = 97 × 7 ÷ 100 = 6.79. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*7. 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

6.79 is the 97% share of 7. The remaining 3% is 0.21, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $7 saves $6.79, so you pay $0.21.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 7 by 97% gives 13.79 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.21. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 0.4137, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
