How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 38 = 23.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.56 ÷ 38 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/38, so part = 62 × 38 ÷ 100 = 23.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*38. 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

23.56 is the 62% share of 38. The remaining 38% is 14.44, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $38 saves $23.56, so you pay $14.44.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 38 by 62% gives 61.56 and decreasing it by 62% gives 14.44. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 23.3928, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
