How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 28 = 17.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.36 ÷ 28 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/28, so part = 62 × 28 ÷ 100 = 17.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*28. 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

17.36 is the 62% share of 28. The remaining 38% is 10.64, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $28 saves $17.36, so you pay $10.64.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 28 by 62% gives 45.36 and decreasing it by 62% gives 10.64. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 17.2368, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
