How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
  2. Multiply: 0.89 × 62 = 55.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55.18 ÷ 62 × 100 = 89%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/62, so part = 89 × 62 ÷ 100 = 55.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =89%*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

55.18 is the 89% share of 62. The remaining 11% is 6.82, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 89% off an item priced $62 saves $55.18, so you pay $6.82.

Adding and taking away 89%

Increasing 62 by 89% gives 117.18 and decreasing it by 89% gives 6.82. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 12.8898, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
