How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 49 = 30.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.38 ÷ 49 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/49, so part = 62 × 49 ÷ 100 = 30.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*49. 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

30.38 is the 62% share of 49. The remaining 38% is 18.62, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $49 saves $30.38, so you pay $18.62.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 49 by 62% gives 79.38 and decreasing it by 62% gives 18.62. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 30.1644, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
