How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 62 = 16.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.74 ÷ 62 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/62, so part = 27 × 62 ÷ 100 = 16.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

16.74 is the 27% share of 62. The remaining 73% is 45.26, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $62 saves $16.74, so you pay $45.26.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 62 by 27% gives 78.74 and decreasing it by 27% gives 45.26. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 57.4802, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
