How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 96 = 94.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 94.08 ÷ 96 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/96, so part = 98 × 96 ÷ 100 = 94.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*96. 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

94.08 is the 98% share of 96. The remaining 2% is 1.92, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $96 saves $94.08, so you pay $1.92.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 96 by 98% gives 190.08 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.92. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.8016, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
