How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 70 = 43.4
- Check: Work backwards: 43.4 ÷ 70 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/70, so part = 62 × 70 ÷ 100 = 43.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*70. 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
43.4 is the 62% share of 70. The remaining 38% is 26.6, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 62% off an item priced $70 saves $43.4, so you pay $26.6.
Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 70 by 62% gives 113.4 and decreasing it by 62% gives 26.6. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 43.092, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
