How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 98 = 28.42
- Check: Work backwards: 28.42 ÷ 98 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/98, so part = 29 × 98 ÷ 100 = 28.42. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*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.

Adding and taking away 29%
Increasing 98 by 29% gives 126.42 and decreasing it by 29% gives 69.58. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 89.7582, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
