How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 77 = 74.69
- Check: Work backwards: 74.69 ÷ 77 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/77, so part = 97 × 77 ÷ 100 = 74.69. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*77. 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
74.69 is the 97% share of 77. The remaining 3% is 2.31, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 77 by 97% gives 151.69 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.31. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.5507, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
