How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 62 = 59.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 59.52 ÷ 62 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/62, so part = 96 × 62 ÷ 100 = 59.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

59.52 is the 96% share of 62. The remaining 4% is 2.48, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $62 saves $59.52, so you pay $2.48.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 62 by 96% gives 121.52 and decreasing it by 96% gives 2.48. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 4.8608, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
