How to work it out
- Divide the part by the whole: 98 ÷ 99 = 0.989899
- Multiply by 100: 0.989899 × 100 = 98.9899%
- Check: Work backwards: 98.9899% of 99 is 0.989899 × 99 = 98.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/99 = p/100, so p = 98 × 100 ÷ 99 = 98.9899%. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98/99*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.
