How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 56 = 54.88
- Check: Work backwards: 54.88 ÷ 56 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/56, so part = 98 × 56 ÷ 100 = 54.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*56. 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

Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 56 by 98% gives 110.88 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.12. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.2176, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
