How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 98 = 47.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.04 ÷ 98 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/98, so part = 48 × 98 ÷ 100 = 47.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

47.04 is the 48% share of 98. The remaining 52% is 50.96, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $98 saves $47.04, so you pay $50.96.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 98 by 48% gives 145.04 and decreasing it by 48% gives 50.96. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 75.4208, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
