How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
- Multiply: 0.37 × 55 = 20.35
- Check: Work backwards: 20.35 ÷ 55 × 100 = 37%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/55, so part = 37 × 55 ÷ 100 = 20.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =37%*55. 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

Adding and taking away 37%
Increasing 55 by 37% gives 75.35 and decreasing it by 37% gives 34.65. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 47.4705, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
