How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 62 = 45.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.26 ÷ 62 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/62, so part = 73 × 62 ÷ 100 = 45.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

45.26 is the 73% share of 62. The remaining 27% is 16.74, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $62 saves $45.26, so you pay $16.74.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 62 by 73% gives 107.26 and decreasing it by 73% gives 16.74. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 28.9602, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
