How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 37 = 1.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.48 ÷ 37 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/37, so part = 4 × 37 ÷ 100 = 1.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*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

1.48 is the 4% share of 37. The remaining 96% is 35.52, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $37 saves $1.48, so you pay $35.52.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 37 by 4% gives 38.48 and decreasing it by 4% gives 35.52. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 36.9408, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
