How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
- Multiply: 0.74 × 98 = 72.52
- Check: Work backwards: 72.52 ÷ 98 × 100 = 74%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/98, so part = 74 × 98 ÷ 100 = 72.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =74%*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 74%
Increasing 98 by 74% gives 170.52 and decreasing it by 74% gives 25.48. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 44.3352, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
