How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 90 = 55.8
- Check: Work backwards: 55.8 ÷ 90 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/90, so part = 62 × 90 ÷ 100 = 55.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*90. 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
55.8 is the 62% share of 90. The remaining 38% is 34.2, and the two parts add back up to 90.
Discounts: 62% off an item priced $90 saves $55.8, so you pay $34.2.
Adding and taking away 62%
Increasing 90 by 62% gives 145.8 and decreasing it by 62% gives 34.2. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 55.404, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
