How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 25 = 15.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.5 ÷ 25 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/25, so part = 62 × 25 ÷ 100 = 15.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*25. 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

15.5 is the 62% share of 25. The remaining 38% is 9.5, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $25 saves $15.5, so you pay $9.5.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 25 by 62% gives 40.5 and decreasing it by 62% gives 9.5. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 15.39, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
