To decompose the number 97 by place value, you can break it down into its tens and units components.

The number 97 consists of:
- 90 (which is 9 tens)
- 7 (which is 7 units)

So, you can express 97 as:

**90 + 7**

This matches the option you provided.

For clarity, the other options would break down like this:

- **88 + 9** equals 97, but does not decompose by place value.
- **47 + 50** equals 97 too, but also does not represent the place value decomposition.
- **100 - 3** equals 97, same as above.

So, the correct decomposition of 97 by place value is **90 + 7**.
