How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46
  2. Multiply: 0.46 × 37 = 17.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.02 ÷ 37 × 100 = 46%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 46/100 = part/37, so part = 46 × 37 ÷ 100 = 17.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =46%*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

17.02 is the 46% share of 37. The remaining 54% is 19.98, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 46% off an item priced $37 saves $17.02, so you pay $19.98.

Adding and taking away 46%

Increasing 37 by 46% gives 54.02 and decreasing it by 46% gives 19.98. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 46% and then lowering the result by 46% ends at 29.1708, because the second 46% is taken of a bigger number.
