One percent is a single part of 100, so 1% is equal to 1/100, or .01. To convert a percentage into a decimal, divide the percent by 100 (100% = 1.0; 36.7% = .367). You can then simply multiply the number by whatever initial quantity you have.

So for example, 56.7% of 39 is .567 * 39, or 22.113. 120% of 62 is 1.2 * 62, or 74.4.
