How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
- Multiply: 0.37 × 56 = 20.72
- Check: Work backwards: 20.72 ÷ 56 × 100 = 37%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/56, so part = 37 × 56 ÷ 100 = 20.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =37%*56. 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 56 by 37% gives 76.72 and decreasing it by 37% gives 35.28. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 48.3336, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
