How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 52 = 32.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.24 ÷ 52 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/52, so part = 62 × 52 ÷ 100 = 32.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*52. 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

32.24 is the 62% share of 52. The remaining 38% is 19.76, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $52 saves $32.24, so you pay $19.76.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 52 by 62% gives 84.24 and decreasing it by 62% gives 19.76. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 32.0112, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
