How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 55 = 34.1
- Check: Work backwards: 34.1 ÷ 55 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/55, so part = 62 × 55 ÷ 100 = 34.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*55. 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
34.1 is the 62% share of 55. The remaining 38% is 20.9, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 55 by 62% gives 89.1 and decreasing it by 62% gives 20.9. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 33.858, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
