How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 76 = 74.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 74.48 ÷ 76 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/76, so part = 98 × 76 ÷ 100 = 74.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*76. 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

74.48 is the 98% share of 76. The remaining 2% is 1.52, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $76 saves $74.48, so you pay $1.52.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 76 by 98% gives 150.48 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.52. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.0096, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
