How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 62 = 8.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.68 ÷ 62 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/62, so part = 14 × 62 ÷ 100 = 8.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

8.68 is the 14% share of 62. The remaining 86% is 53.32, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $62 saves $8.68, so you pay $53.32.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 62 by 14% gives 70.68 and decreasing it by 14% gives 53.32. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 60.7848, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
