How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 13 = 4.81
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.81 ÷ 13 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/13, so part = 37 × 13 ÷ 100 = 4.81. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*13. 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

4.81 is the 37% share of 13. The remaining 63% is 8.19, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $13 saves $4.81, so you pay $8.19.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 13 by 37% gives 17.81 and decreasing it by 37% gives 8.19. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 11.2203, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
