How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 84 = 52.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 52.08 ÷ 84 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/84, so part = 62 × 84 ÷ 100 = 52.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*84. 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

52.08 is the 62% share of 84. The remaining 38% is 31.92, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $84 saves $52.08, so you pay $31.92.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 84 by 62% gives 136.08 and decreasing it by 62% gives 31.92. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 51.7104, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
