Get a specific percent of a specific number

Question

So, I have two numbers, lets say I have 97 and 32.

I need to get 97% of 32, which would be 31.04.

In code, I have these variables

int amountFree = 32;
int percentToGet = 97;

What would be the formula to calculate a specific percent of a specific number?

It's not as simple as that though as I wont always know the values.

Yes, to get a certain amount of a value. I'm just asking for the formula to calculate it. — xozijow, Oct 30 '17 at 21:10
For 97% you would be getting 97 hundredths of a value. Does that make it easier? — Deolus, Oct 30 '17 at 21:12
This is getting the percent of how much a smaller number is of the bigger number, how is that even close to what I want to do? @MartinSmith — xozijow, Oct 30 '17 at 21:12
True, but tbh it shows you how to do basic maths operations in C#. You should be able to work it out from there. — Martin Smith, Oct 30 '17 at 21:15
This isn't really a programming question. It's a math question. — Michael Roy, Oct 30 '17 at 21:19

Try This-

     static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            double original = 32;
            double percentOf = 97;

            double total = original * percentOf / 100;

            Console.WriteLine(total);
        }

I'm assuming this is a console application but the formula should be the same for the calculation you need.
