How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 54 = 52.92
- Check: Work backwards: 52.92 ÷ 54 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/54, so part = 98 × 54 ÷ 100 = 52.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*54. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 98%
