How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 7 = 4.34
- Check: Work backwards: 4.34 ÷ 7 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/7, so part = 62 × 7 ÷ 100 = 4.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*7. 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
4.34 is the 62% share of 7. The remaining 38% is 2.66, and the two parts add back up to 7.
Discounts: 62% off an item priced $7 saves $4.34, so you pay $2.66.
Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 7 by 62% gives 11.34 and decreasing it by 62% gives 2.66. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 4.3092, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
