How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 51 = 49.98
- Check: Work backwards: 49.98 ÷ 51 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/51, so part = 98 × 51 ÷ 100 = 49.98. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*51. 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
49.98 is the 98% share of 51. The remaining 2% is 1.02, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 51 by 98% gives 100.98 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.02. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.0196, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
