How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 62 = 29.14
- Check: Work backwards: 29.14 ÷ 62 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/62, so part = 47 × 62 ÷ 100 = 29.14. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*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.

Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 62 by 47% gives 91.14 and decreasing it by 47% gives 32.86. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 48.3042, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
