How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 83 = 30.71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.71 ÷ 83 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/83, so part = 37 × 83 ÷ 100 = 30.71. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*83. 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

30.71 is the 37% share of 83. The remaining 63% is 52.29, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $83 saves $30.71, so you pay $52.29.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 83 by 37% gives 113.71 and decreasing it by 37% gives 52.29. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 71.6373, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
