How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 37 = 9.99
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.99 ÷ 37 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/37, so part = 27 × 37 ÷ 100 = 9.99. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

9.99 is the 27% share of 37. The remaining 73% is 27.01, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $37 saves $9.99, so you pay $27.01.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 37 by 27% gives 46.99 and decreasing it by 27% gives 27.01. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 34.3027, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
