How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 98 = 10.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.78 ÷ 98 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/98, so part = 11 × 98 ÷ 100 = 10.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*98. 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

10.78 is the 11% share of 98. The remaining 89% is 87.22, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $98 saves $10.78, so you pay $87.22.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 98 by 11% gives 108.78 and decreasing it by 11% gives 87.22. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 96.8142, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
