How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 75 = 73.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 73.5 ÷ 75 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/75, so part = 98 × 75 ÷ 100 = 73.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*75. 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

73.5 is the 98% share of 75. The remaining 2% is 1.5, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $75 saves $73.5, so you pay $1.5.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 75 by 98% gives 148.5 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.5. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.97, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
