How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 99 = 96.03
- Check: Work backwards: 96.03 ÷ 99 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/99, so part = 97 × 99 ÷ 100 = 96.03. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*99. 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
96.03 is the 97% share of 99. The remaining 3% is 2.97, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 97% off an item priced $99 saves $96.03, so you pay $2.97.
Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 99 by 97% gives 195.03 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.97. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 5.8509, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
