How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 70 = 67.9
- Check: Work backwards: 67.9 ÷ 70 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/70, so part = 97 × 70 ÷ 100 = 67.9. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*70. 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
67.9 is the 97% share of 70. The remaining 3% is 2.1, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 97% off an item priced $70 saves $67.9, so you pay $2.1.
Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 70 by 97% gives 137.9 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.1. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.137, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
