How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 74 = 72.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 72.52 ÷ 74 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/74, so part = 98 × 74 ÷ 100 = 72.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*74. 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

72.52 is the 98% share of 74. The remaining 2% is 1.48, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $74 saves $72.52, so you pay $1.48.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 74 by 98% gives 146.52 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.48. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.9304, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
