How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 56 ÷ 100 = 0.56
  2. Multiply: 0.56 × 37 = 20.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.72 ÷ 37 × 100 = 56%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 56/100 = part/37, so part = 56 × 37 ÷ 100 = 20.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =56%*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

20.72 is the 56% share of 37. The remaining 44% is 16.28, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 56% off an item priced $37 saves $20.72, so you pay $16.28.

Adding and taking away 56%

Increasing 37 by 56% gives 57.72 and decreasing it by 56% gives 16.28. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 56% and then lowering the result by 56% ends at 25.3968, because the second 56% is taken of a bigger number.
