How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 62 = 60.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60.76 ÷ 62 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/62, so part = 98 × 62 ÷ 100 = 60.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

60.76 is the 98% share of 62. The remaining 2% is 1.24, and the two parts add back up to 62.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $62 saves $60.76, so you pay $1.24.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 62 by 98% gives 122.76 and decreasing it by 98% gives 1.24. These do not cancel out: raising 62 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 2.4552, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
