How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
- Multiply: 0.43 × 98 = 42.14
- Check: Work backwards: 42.14 ÷ 98 × 100 = 43%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/98, so part = 43 × 98 ÷ 100 = 42.14. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =43%*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.
