How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 83 = 80.51
- Check: Work backwards: 80.51 ÷ 83 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/83, so part = 97 × 83 ÷ 100 = 80.51. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*83. 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 83 by 97% gives 163.51 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.49. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.9053, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
