How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 98 = 25.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.48 ÷ 98 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/98, so part = 26 × 98 ÷ 100 = 25.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

25.48 is the 26% share of 98. The remaining 74% is 72.52, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $98 saves $25.48, so you pay $72.52.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 98 by 26% gives 123.48 and decreasing it by 26% gives 72.52. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 91.3752, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
