How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
  2. Multiply: 0.09 × 62 = 5.58
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.58 ÷ 62 × 100 = 9%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/62, so part = 9 × 62 ÷ 100 = 5.58. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =9%*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

5.58 is the 9% share of 62. The remaining 91% is 56.42, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 9% off an item priced $62 saves $5.58, so you pay $56.42.

Adding and taking away 9%

Increasing 62 by 9% gives 67.58 and decreasing it by 9% gives 56.42. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 61.4978, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
