How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 6 = 2.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.22 ÷ 6 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/6, so part = 37 × 6 ÷ 100 = 2.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*6. 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

2.22 is the 37% share of 6. The remaining 63% is 3.78, and the two parts add back up to 6.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $6 saves $2.22, so you pay $3.78.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 6 by 37% gives 8.22 and decreasing it by 37% gives 3.78. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 5.1786, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
