How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 98 = 60.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60.76 ÷ 98 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/98, so part = 62 × 98 ÷ 100 = 60.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

60.76 is the 62% share of 98. The remaining 38% is 37.24, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $98 saves $60.76, so you pay $37.24.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 98 by 62% gives 158.76 and decreasing it by 62% gives 37.24. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 60.3288, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
