How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 46 = 17.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.02 ÷ 46 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/46, so part = 37 × 46 ÷ 100 = 17.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*46. 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

17.02 is the 37% share of 46. The remaining 63% is 28.98, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $46 saves $17.02, so you pay $28.98.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 46 by 37% gives 63.02 and decreasing it by 37% gives 28.98. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 39.7026, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
