How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 98 = 32.34
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.34 ÷ 98 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/98, so part = 33 × 98 ÷ 100 = 32.34. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

32.34 is the 33% share of 98. The remaining 67% is 65.66, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $98 saves $32.34, so you pay $65.66.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 98 by 33% gives 130.34 and decreasing it by 33% gives 65.66. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 87.3278, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
