How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 74 = 45.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.88 ÷ 74 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/74, so part = 62 × 74 ÷ 100 = 45.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*74. 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

45.88 is the 62% share of 74. The remaining 38% is 28.12, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $74 saves $45.88, so you pay $28.12.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 74 by 62% gives 119.88 and decreasing it by 62% gives 28.12. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 45.5544, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
