How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 21 ÷ 100 = 0.21
  2. Multiply: 0.21 × 62 = 13.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.02 ÷ 62 × 100 = 21%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/100 = part/62, so part = 21 × 62 ÷ 100 = 13.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =21%*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

13.02 is the 21% share of 62. The remaining 79% is 48.98, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 21% off an item priced $62 saves $13.02, so you pay $48.98.

Adding and taking away 21%

Increasing 62 by 21% gives 75.02 and decreasing it by 21% gives 48.98. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 21% and then lowering the result by 21% ends at 59.2658, because the second 21% is taken of a bigger number.
