How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 71 = 69.58
- Check: Work backwards: 69.58 ÷ 71 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/71, so part = 98 × 71 ÷ 100 = 69.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*71. 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
69.58 is the 98% share of 71. The remaining 2% is 1.42, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 71 by 98% gives 140.58 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.42. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.8116, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
