How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 98 = 81.34
- Check: Work backwards: 81.34 ÷ 98 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/98, so part = 83 × 98 ÷ 100 = 81.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*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.

Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 98 by 83% gives 179.34 and decreasing it by 83% gives 16.66. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 30.4878, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
