How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 98 = 95.06
- Check: Work backwards: 95.06 ÷ 98 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/98, so part = 97 × 98 ÷ 100 = 95.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*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
95.06 is the 97% share of 98. The remaining 3% is 2.94, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 98 by 97% gives 193.06 and decreasing it by 97% gives 2.94. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 5.7918, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
