How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
- Multiply: 0.01 × 62 = 0.62
- Check: Work backwards: 0.62 ÷ 62 × 100 = 1%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/62, so part = 1 × 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =1%*62. 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
0.62 is the 1% share of 62. The remaining 99% is 61.38, and the two parts add back up to 62.
Discounts: 1% off an item priced $62 saves $0.62, so you pay $61.38.
Adding and taking away 1%
Increasing 62 by 1% gives 62.62 and decreasing it by 1% gives 61.38. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 61.9938, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
