How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 27 = 16.74
- Check: Work backwards: 16.74 ÷ 27 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/27, so part = 62 × 27 ÷ 100 = 16.74. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*27. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 27 by 62% gives 43.74 and decreasing it by 62% gives 10.26. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 16.6212, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
