How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 88 = 85.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85.36 ÷ 88 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/88, so part = 97 × 88 ÷ 100 = 85.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*88. 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

85.36 is the 97% share of 88. The remaining 3% is 2.64, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $88 saves $85.36, so you pay $2.64.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 88 by 97% gives 173.36 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.64. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 5.2008, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
