How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
  2. Multiply: 0.01 × 37 = 0.37
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.37 ÷ 37 × 100 = 1%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 1/100 = part/37, so part = 1 × 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =1%*37. 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

0.37 is the 1% share of 37. The remaining 99% is 36.63, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 1% off an item priced $37 saves $0.37, so you pay $36.63.

Adding and taking away 1%

Increasing 37 by 1% gives 37.37 and decreasing it by 1% gives 36.63. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 1% and then lowering the result by 1% ends at 36.9963, because the second 1% is taken of a bigger number.
