How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 62 = 47.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 47.74 ÷ 62 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/62, so part = 77 × 62 ÷ 100 = 47.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*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

47.74 is the 77% share of 62. The remaining 23% is 14.26, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $62 saves $47.74, so you pay $14.26.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 62 by 77% gives 109.74 and decreasing it by 77% gives 14.26. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 25.2402, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
