How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 98 = 56.84
- Check: Work backwards: 56.84 ÷ 98 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/98, so part = 58 × 98 ÷ 100 = 56.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*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.

Adding and taking away 58%
Increasing 98 by 58% gives 154.84 and decreasing it by 58% gives 41.16. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 65.0328, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
