How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 62 = 21.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.08 ÷ 62 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/62, so part = 34 × 62 ÷ 100 = 21.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*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

21.08 is the 34% share of 62. The remaining 66% is 40.92, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $62 saves $21.08, so you pay $40.92.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 62 by 34% gives 83.08 and decreasing it by 34% gives 40.92. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 54.8328, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
