How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 78 = 75.66
- Check: Work backwards: 75.66 ÷ 78 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/78, so part = 97 × 78 ÷ 100 = 75.66. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*78. 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 78 by 97% gives 153.66 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.34. These do not cancel out: raising 78 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.6098, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
