How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
- Multiply: 0.7 × 62 = 43.4
- Check: Work backwards: 43.4 ÷ 62 × 100 = 70%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/62, so part = 70 × 62 ÷ 100 = 43.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =70%*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
43.4 is the 70% share of 62. The remaining 30% is 18.6, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 62 by 70% gives 105.4 and decreasing it by 70% gives 18.6. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 31.62, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
