How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 62 = 16.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.12 ÷ 62 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/62, so part = 26 × 62 ÷ 100 = 16.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

16.12 is the 26% share of 62. The remaining 74% is 45.88, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $62 saves $16.12, so you pay $45.88.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 62 by 26% gives 78.12 and decreasing it by 26% gives 45.88. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 57.8088, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
