How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 89 = 86.33
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.33 ÷ 89 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/89, so part = 97 × 89 ÷ 100 = 86.33. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*89. 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

86.33 is the 97% share of 89. The remaining 3% is 2.67, and the two parts add back up to 89.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $89 saves $86.33, so you pay $2.67.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 89 by 97% gives 175.33 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.67. These do not cancel out: raising 89 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 5.2599, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
