How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 37 = 6.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.66 ÷ 37 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/37, so part = 18 × 37 ÷ 100 = 6.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

6.66 is the 18% share of 37. The remaining 82% is 30.34, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $37 saves $6.66, so you pay $30.34.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 37 by 18% gives 43.66 and decreasing it by 18% gives 30.34. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 35.8012, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
