How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 45 = 16.65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.65 ÷ 45 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/45, so part = 37 × 45 ÷ 100 = 16.65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*45. 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

16.65 is the 37% share of 45. The remaining 63% is 28.35, and the two parts add back up to 45.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $45 saves $16.65, so you pay $28.35.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 45 by 37% gives 61.65 and decreasing it by 37% gives 28.35. These do not cancel out: raising 45 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 38.8395, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
