How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 98 = 46.06
- Check: Work backwards: 46.06 ÷ 98 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/98, so part = 47 × 98 ÷ 100 = 46.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*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

Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 98 by 47% gives 144.06 and decreasing it by 47% gives 51.94. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 76.3518, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
