How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 13 = 8.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.06 ÷ 13 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/13, so part = 62 × 13 ÷ 100 = 8.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*13. 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

8.06 is the 62% share of 13. The remaining 38% is 4.94, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $13 saves $8.06, so you pay $4.94.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 13 by 62% gives 21.06 and decreasing it by 62% gives 4.94. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 8.0028, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
