How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
- Multiply: 0.25 × 98 = 24.5
- Check: Work backwards: 24.5 ÷ 98 × 100 = 25%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/98, so part = 25 × 98 ÷ 100 = 24.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =25%*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
24.5 is the 25% share of 98. The remaining 75% is 73.5, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Adding and taking away 25%
Increasing 98 by 25% gives 122.5 and decreasing it by 25% gives 73.5. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 91.875, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
