How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 98 = 96.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 96.04 ÷ 98 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/98, so part = 98 × 98 ÷ 100 = 96.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*98. 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

96.04 is the 98% share of 98. The remaining 2% is 1.96, and the two parts add back up to 98.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $98 saves $96.04, so you pay $1.96.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 98 by 98% gives 194.04 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.96. These do not cancel out: raising 98 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.8808, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
