How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 62 = 31.62
- Check: Work backwards: 31.62 ÷ 62 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/62, so part = 51 × 62 ÷ 100 = 31.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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
31.62 is the 51% share of 62. The remaining 49% is 30.38, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 62 by 51% gives 93.62 and decreasing it by 51% gives 30.38. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 45.8738, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
