How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 37 = 11.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.47 ÷ 37 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/37, so part = 31 × 37 ÷ 100 = 11.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

11.47 is the 31% share of 37. The remaining 69% is 25.53, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $37 saves $11.47, so you pay $25.53.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 37 by 31% gives 48.47 and decreasing it by 31% gives 25.53. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 33.4443, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
