How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 62 = 4.34
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.34 ÷ 62 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/62, so part = 7 × 62 ÷ 100 = 4.34. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

4.34 is the 7% share of 62. The remaining 93% is 57.66, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $62 saves $4.34, so you pay $57.66.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 62 by 7% gives 66.34 and decreasing it by 7% gives 57.66. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 61.6962, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
