How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 10 = 6.2
- Check: Work backwards: 6.2 ÷ 10 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/10, so part = 62 × 10 ÷ 100 = 6.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*10. 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
6.2 is the 62% share of 10. The remaining 38% is 3.8, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 62% off an item priced $10 saves $6.2, so you pay $3.8.
Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 10 by 62% gives 16.2 and decreasing it by 62% gives 3.8. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 6.156, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
