How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 62 = 60.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60.14 ÷ 62 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/62, so part = 97 × 62 ÷ 100 = 60.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

60.14 is the 97% share of 62. The remaining 3% is 1.86, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $62 saves $60.14, so you pay $1.86.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 62 by 97% gives 122.14 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.86. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 3.6642, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
