How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 79 = 48.98
- Check: Work backwards: 48.98 ÷ 79 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/79, so part = 62 × 79 ÷ 100 = 48.98. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 79 by 62% gives 127.98 and decreasing it by 62% gives 30.02. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 48.6324, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
