How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 62 = 9.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.92 ÷ 62 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/62, so part = 16 × 62 ÷ 100 = 9.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

9.92 is the 16% share of 62. The remaining 84% is 52.08, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $62 saves $9.92, so you pay $52.08.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 62 by 16% gives 71.92 and decreasing it by 16% gives 52.08. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 60.4128, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
