How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 61 = 37.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.82 ÷ 61 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/61, so part = 62 × 61 ÷ 100 = 37.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*61. 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

37.82 is the 62% share of 61. The remaining 38% is 23.18, and the two parts add back up to 61.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $61 saves $37.82, so you pay $23.18.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 61 by 62% gives 98.82 and decreasing it by 62% gives 23.18. These do not cancel out: raising 61 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 37.5516, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
