How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 57 = 55.86
- Check: Work backwards: 55.86 ÷ 57 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/57, so part = 98 × 57 ÷ 100 = 55.86. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*57. 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 57 by 98% gives 112.86 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.14. These do not cancel out: raising 57 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.2572, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
