How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 77 = 47.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.74 ÷ 77 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/77, so part = 62 × 77 ÷ 100 = 47.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*77. 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

47.74 is the 62% share of 77. The remaining 38% is 29.26, and the two parts add back up to 77.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $77 saves $47.74, so you pay $29.26.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 77 by 62% gives 124.74 and decreasing it by 62% gives 29.26. These do not cancel out: raising 77 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 47.4012, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
