How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 98 = 50.96
- Check: Work backwards: 50.96 ÷ 98 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/98, so part = 52 × 98 ÷ 100 = 50.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*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 52%
Increasing 98 by 52% gives 148.96 and decreasing it by 52% gives 47.04. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 71.5008, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
