How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
- Multiply: 0.28 × 62 = 17.36
- Check: Work backwards: 17.36 ÷ 62 × 100 = 28%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/62, so part = 28 × 62 ÷ 100 = 17.36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =28%*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.
