How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 75 ÷ 100 = 0.75
- Multiply: 0.75 × 98 = 73.5
- Check: Work backwards: 73.5 ÷ 98 × 100 = 75%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/100 = part/98, so part = 75 × 98 ÷ 100 = 73.5. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =75%*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
73.5 is the 75% share of 98. The remaining 25% is 24.5, and the two parts add back up to 98.
Discounts: 75% off an item priced $98 saves $73.5, so you pay $24.5.
Adding and taking away 75%
Increasing 98 by 75% gives 171.5 and decreasing it by 75% gives 24.5. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 75% and then lowering the result by 75% ends at 42.875, because the second 75% is taken of a bigger number.
