How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 84 = 81.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 81.48 ÷ 84 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/84, so part = 97 × 84 ÷ 100 = 81.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*84. 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

81.48 is the 97% share of 84. The remaining 3% is 2.52, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $84 saves $81.48, so you pay $2.52.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 84 by 97% gives 165.48 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.52. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 4.9644, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
