How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 36 = 22.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.32 ÷ 36 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/36, so part = 62 × 36 ÷ 100 = 22.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*36. 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

22.32 is the 62% share of 36. The remaining 38% is 13.68, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $36 saves $22.32, so you pay $13.68.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 36 by 62% gives 58.32 and decreasing it by 62% gives 13.68. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 22.1616, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
