How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 78 ÷ 100 = 0.78
  2. Multiply: 0.78 × 62 = 48.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 48.36 ÷ 62 × 100 = 78%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 78/100 = part/62, so part = 78 × 62 ÷ 100 = 48.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =78%*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

48.36 is the 78% share of 62. The remaining 22% is 13.64, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 78% off an item priced $62 saves $48.36, so you pay $13.64.

Adding and taking away 78%

Increasing 62 by 78% gives 110.36 and decreasing it by 78% gives 13.64. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 78% and then lowering the result by 78% ends at 24.2792, because the second 78% is taken of a bigger number.
