How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 37 = 5.92
- Check: Work backwards: 5.92 ÷ 37 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/37, so part = 16 × 37 ÷ 100 = 5.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
5.92 is the 16% share of 37. The remaining 84% is 31.08, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 37 by 16% gives 42.92 and decreasing it by 16% gives 31.08. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 36.0528, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
