How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 98 = 64.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.68 ÷ 98 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/98, so part = 66 × 98 ÷ 100 = 64.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*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

64.68 is the 66% share of 98. The remaining 34% is 33.32, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $98 saves $64.68, so you pay $33.32.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 98 by 66% gives 162.68 and decreasing it by 66% gives 33.32. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 55.3112, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
