How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 37 = 17.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.76 ÷ 37 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/37, so part = 48 × 37 ÷ 100 = 17.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

17.76 is the 48% share of 37. The remaining 52% is 19.24, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $37 saves $17.76, so you pay $19.24.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 37 by 48% gives 54.76 and decreasing it by 48% gives 19.24. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 28.4752, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
