How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 62 = 20.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.46 ÷ 62 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/62, so part = 33 × 62 ÷ 100 = 20.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

20.46 is the 33% share of 62. The remaining 67% is 41.54, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $62 saves $20.46, so you pay $41.54.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 62 by 33% gives 82.46 and decreasing it by 33% gives 41.54. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 55.2482, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
