How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 14 = 8.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.68 ÷ 14 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/14, so part = 62 × 14 ÷ 100 = 8.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*14. 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

8.68 is the 62% share of 14. The remaining 38% is 5.32, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $14 saves $8.68, so you pay $5.32.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 14 by 62% gives 22.68 and decreasing it by 62% gives 5.32. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 8.6184, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
