How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 30 = 29.4
- Check: Work backwards: 29.4 ÷ 30 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/30, so part = 98 × 30 ÷ 100 = 29.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*30. 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
29.4 is the 98% share of 30. The remaining 2% is 0.6, and the two parts add back up to 30.
Discounts: 98% off an item priced $30 saves $29.4, so you pay $0.6.
Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 30 by 98% gives 59.4 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.6. These do not cancel out: raising 30 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.188, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
