How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 98 = 59.78
- Check: Work backwards: 59.78 ÷ 98 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/98, so part = 61 × 98 ÷ 100 = 59.78. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*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 61%
Increasing 98 by 61% gives 157.78 and decreasing it by 61% gives 38.22. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 61.5342, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
