How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 62 = 39.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.68 ÷ 62 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/62, so part = 64 × 62 ÷ 100 = 39.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*62. 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

39.68 is the 64% share of 62. The remaining 36% is 22.32, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $62 saves $39.68, so you pay $22.32.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 62 by 64% gives 101.68 and decreasing it by 64% gives 22.32. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 36.6048, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
