How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 65 ÷ 100 = 0.65
  2. Multiply: 0.65 × 62 = 40.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 40.3 ÷ 62 × 100 = 65%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/100 = part/62, so part = 65 × 62 ÷ 100 = 40.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65%*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

40.3 is the 65% share of 62. The remaining 35% is 21.7, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 65% off an item priced $62 saves $40.3, so you pay $21.7.

Adding and taking away 65%

Increasing 62 by 65% gives 102.3 and decreasing it by 65% gives 21.7. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 65% and then lowering the result by 65% ends at 35.805, because the second 65% is taken of a bigger number.
