How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 46 = 28.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28.52 ÷ 46 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/46, so part = 62 × 46 ÷ 100 = 28.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*46. 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

28.52 is the 62% share of 46. The remaining 38% is 17.48, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $46 saves $28.52, so you pay $17.48.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 46 by 62% gives 74.52 and decreasing it by 62% gives 17.48. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 28.3176, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
