phi · Answer

it's worth learning to translate
tax is 6.2% of gross pay

which you see "is"  think "equals"  or =
when you see 6.2%  think  6.2 per hundred  or  6.2/100  or 0.062
which you see "of" think  "multiply"
in other words

tax is 6.2% of gross pay
translates to
tax = 0.062 * gross pay
