How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 60 = 22.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.2 ÷ 60 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/60, so part = 37 × 60 ÷ 100 = 22.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*60. 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

22.2 is the 37% share of 60. The remaining 63% is 37.8, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $60 saves $22.2, so you pay $37.8.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 60 by 37% gives 82.2 and decreasing it by 37% gives 37.8. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 51.786, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
