How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 71 = 44.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44.02 ÷ 71 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/71, so part = 62 × 71 ÷ 100 = 44.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*71. 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

44.02 is the 62% share of 71. The remaining 38% is 26.98, and the two parts add back up to 71.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $71 saves $44.02, so you pay $26.98.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 71 by 62% gives 115.02 and decreasing it by 62% gives 26.98. These do not cancel out: raising 71 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 43.7076, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
