How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 37 = 5.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.18 ÷ 37 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/37, so part = 14 × 37 ÷ 100 = 5.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

5.18 is the 14% share of 37. The remaining 86% is 31.82, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $37 saves $5.18, so you pay $31.82.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 37 by 14% gives 42.18 and decreasing it by 14% gives 31.82. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 36.2748, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
