How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 58 = 35.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.96 ÷ 58 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/58, so part = 62 × 58 ÷ 100 = 35.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*58. 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

35.96 is the 62% share of 58. The remaining 38% is 22.04, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $58 saves $35.96, so you pay $22.04.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 58 by 62% gives 93.96 and decreasing it by 62% gives 22.04. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 35.7048, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
