How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 51 = 31.62
- Check: Work backwards: 31.62 ÷ 51 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/51, so part = 62 × 51 ÷ 100 = 31.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*51. 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

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 51 by 62% gives 82.62 and decreasing it by 62% gives 19.38. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 31.3956, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
