How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 98 = 69.58
- Check: Work backwards: 69.58 ÷ 98 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/98, so part = 71 × 98 ÷ 100 = 69.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*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 71%
Increasing 98 by 71% gives 167.58 and decreasing it by 71% gives 28.42. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 48.5982, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
