How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 32 = 11.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.84 ÷ 32 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/32, so part = 37 × 32 ÷ 100 = 11.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*32. 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

11.84 is the 37% share of 32. The remaining 63% is 20.16, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $32 saves $11.84, so you pay $20.16.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 32 by 37% gives 43.84 and decreasing it by 37% gives 20.16. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 27.6192, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
