How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 25 = 24.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.5 ÷ 25 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/25, so part = 98 × 25 ÷ 100 = 24.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*25. 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

24.5 is the 98% share of 25. The remaining 2% is 0.5, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $25 saves $24.5, so you pay $0.5.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 25 by 98% gives 49.5 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.5. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.99, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
