How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 62 = 4.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.96 ÷ 62 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/62, so part = 8 × 62 ÷ 100 = 4.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*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

4.96 is the 8% share of 62. The remaining 92% is 57.04, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $62 saves $4.96, so you pay $57.04.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 62 by 8% gives 66.96 and decreasing it by 8% gives 57.04. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 61.6032, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
