How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 28 = 10.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.36 ÷ 28 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/28, so part = 37 × 28 ÷ 100 = 10.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*28. 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

10.36 is the 37% share of 28. The remaining 63% is 17.64, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $28 saves $10.36, so you pay $17.64.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 28 by 37% gives 38.36 and decreasing it by 37% gives 17.64. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 24.1668, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
