How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 14 = 13.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.72 ÷ 14 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/14, so part = 98 × 14 ÷ 100 = 13.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*14. 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

13.72 is the 98% share of 14. The remaining 2% is 0.28, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $14 saves $13.72, so you pay $0.28.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 14 by 98% gives 27.72 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.28. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.5544, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
