How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 78 = 48.36
- Check: Work backwards: 48.36 ÷ 78 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/78, so part = 62 × 78 ÷ 100 = 48.36. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*78. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
