How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 37 = 12.21
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.21 ÷ 37 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/37, so part = 33 × 37 ÷ 100 = 12.21. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

12.21 is the 33% share of 37. The remaining 67% is 24.79, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $37 saves $12.21, so you pay $24.79.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 37 by 33% gives 49.21 and decreasing it by 33% gives 24.79. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 32.9707, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
