How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 98 = 49.98
- Check: Work backwards: 49.98 ÷ 98 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/98, so part = 51 × 98 ÷ 100 = 49.98. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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
49.98 is the 51% share of 98. The remaining 49% is 48.02, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 98 by 51% gives 147.98 and decreasing it by 51% gives 48.02. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 72.5102, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
