How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 23 = 8.51
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.51 ÷ 23 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/23, so part = 37 × 23 ÷ 100 = 8.51. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*23. 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

8.51 is the 37% share of 23. The remaining 63% is 14.49, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $23 saves $8.51, so you pay $14.49.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 23 by 37% gives 31.51 and decreasing it by 37% gives 14.49. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 19.8513, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
