How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
- Multiply: 0.37 × 40 = 14.8
- Check: Work backwards: 14.8 ÷ 40 × 100 = 37%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/40, so part = 37 × 40 ÷ 100 = 14.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =37%*40. 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
14.8 is the 37% share of 40. The remaining 63% is 25.2, and the two parts add back up to 40.
Discounts: 37% off an item priced $40 saves $14.8, so you pay $25.2.
Adding and taking away 37%
Increasing 40 by 37% gives 54.8 and decreasing it by 37% gives 25.2. These do not cancel out: raising 40 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 34.524, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
