How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 62 = 10.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.54 ÷ 62 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/62, so part = 17 × 62 ÷ 100 = 10.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*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

10.54 is the 17% share of 62. The remaining 83% is 51.46, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $62 saves $10.54, so you pay $51.46.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 62 by 17% gives 72.54 and decreasing it by 17% gives 51.46. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 60.2082, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
