How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 62 = 19.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.22 ÷ 62 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/62, so part = 31 × 62 ÷ 100 = 19.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

19.22 is the 31% share of 62. The remaining 69% is 42.78, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $62 saves $19.22, so you pay $42.78.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 62 by 31% gives 81.22 and decreasing it by 31% gives 42.78. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 56.0418, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
