How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 21 = 13.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.02 ÷ 21 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/21, so part = 62 × 21 ÷ 100 = 13.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*21. 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

13.02 is the 62% share of 21. The remaining 38% is 7.98, and the two parts add back up to 21.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $21 saves $13.02, so you pay $7.98.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 21 by 62% gives 34.02 and decreasing it by 62% gives 7.98. These do not cancel out: raising 21 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 12.9276, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
