How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 13 = 12.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.74 ÷ 13 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/13, so part = 98 × 13 ÷ 100 = 12.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*13. 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

12.74 is the 98% share of 13. The remaining 2% is 0.26, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $13 saves $12.74, so you pay $0.26.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 13 by 98% gives 25.74 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.26. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.5148, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
