How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 62 = 8.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.06 ÷ 62 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/62, so part = 13 × 62 ÷ 100 = 8.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

8.06 is the 13% share of 62. The remaining 87% is 53.94, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $62 saves $8.06, so you pay $53.94.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 62 by 13% gives 70.06 and decreasing it by 13% gives 53.94. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 60.9522, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
