How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 62 = 32.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.24 ÷ 62 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/62, so part = 52 × 62 ÷ 100 = 32.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

32.24 is the 52% share of 62. The remaining 48% is 29.76, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $62 saves $32.24, so you pay $29.76.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 62 by 52% gives 94.24 and decreasing it by 52% gives 29.76. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 45.2352, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
