How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 99 = 36.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.63 ÷ 99 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/99, so part = 37 × 99 ÷ 100 = 36.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*99. 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

36.63 is the 37% share of 99. The remaining 63% is 62.37, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $99 saves $36.63, so you pay $62.37.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 99 by 37% gives 135.63 and decreasing it by 37% gives 62.37. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 85.4469, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
