How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 51 = 18.87
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.87 ÷ 51 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/51, so part = 37 × 51 ÷ 100 = 18.87. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*51. 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

18.87 is the 37% share of 51. The remaining 63% is 32.13, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $51 saves $18.87, so you pay $32.13.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 51 by 37% gives 69.87 and decreasing it by 37% gives 32.13. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 44.0181, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
