How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 37 = 14.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.06 ÷ 37 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/37, so part = 38 × 37 ÷ 100 = 14.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*37. 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

14.06 is the 38% share of 37. The remaining 62% is 22.94, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $37 saves $14.06, so you pay $22.94.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 37 by 38% gives 51.06 and decreasing it by 38% gives 22.94. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 31.6572, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
