How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 98 = 17.64
- Check: Work backwards: 17.64 ÷ 98 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/98, so part = 18 × 98 ÷ 100 = 17.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*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
17.64 is the 18% share of 98. The remaining 82% is 80.36, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 98 by 18% gives 115.64 and decreasing it by 18% gives 80.36. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 94.8248, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
