How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 100 = 62
  3. Check: Work backwards: 62 ÷ 100 × 100 = 62%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =62%*100. 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

62 is the 62% share of 100. The remaining 38% is 38, and the two parts add back up to 100.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $100 saves $62, so you pay $38.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 100 by 62% gives 162 and decreasing it by 62% gives 38. These do not cancel out: raising 100 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 61.56, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
