How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 62 = 36.58
- Check: Work backwards: 36.58 ÷ 62 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/62, so part = 59 × 62 ÷ 100 = 36.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*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 59%
Increasing 62 by 59% gives 98.58 and decreasing it by 59% gives 25.42. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 40.4178, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
