How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 75 = 72.75
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.75 ÷ 75 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/75, so part = 97 × 75 ÷ 100 = 72.75. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*75. 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

72.75 is the 97% share of 75. The remaining 3% is 2.25, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $75 saves $72.75, so you pay $2.25.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 75 by 97% gives 147.75 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.25. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.4325, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
