How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 99 = 97.02
- Check: Work backwards: 97.02 ÷ 99 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/99, so part = 98 × 99 ÷ 100 = 97.02. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*99. 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
97.02 is the 98% share of 99. The remaining 2% is 1.98, and the two parts add back up to 99.
Discounts: 98% off an item priced $99 saves $97.02, so you pay $1.98.
Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 99 by 98% gives 196.02 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.98. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 3.9204, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
