How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 56 = 34.72
- Check: Work backwards: 34.72 ÷ 56 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/56, so part = 62 × 56 ÷ 100 = 34.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*56. 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 56 by 62% gives 90.72 and decreasing it by 62% gives 21.28. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 34.4736, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
