How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
- Multiply: 0.79 × 98 = 77.42
- Check: Work backwards: 77.42 ÷ 98 × 100 = 79%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/98, so part = 79 × 98 ÷ 100 = 77.42. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =79%*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.
