How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 96 = 93.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 93.12 ÷ 96 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/96, so part = 97 × 96 ÷ 100 = 93.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*96. 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

93.12 is the 97% share of 96. The remaining 3% is 2.88, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $96 saves $93.12, so you pay $2.88.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 96 by 97% gives 189.12 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.88. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 5.6736, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
