How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 62 = 14.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.26 ÷ 62 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/62, so part = 23 × 62 ÷ 100 = 14.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*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

14.26 is the 23% share of 62. The remaining 77% is 47.74, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $62 saves $14.26, so you pay $47.74.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 62 by 23% gives 76.26 and decreasing it by 23% gives 47.74. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 58.7202, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
