How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 77 = 75.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 75.46 ÷ 77 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/77, so part = 98 × 77 ÷ 100 = 75.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*77. 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

75.46 is the 98% share of 77. The remaining 2% is 1.54, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $77 saves $75.46, so you pay $1.54.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 77 by 98% gives 152.46 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.54. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.0492, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
