How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
  2. Multiply: 0.07 × 37 = 2.59
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.59 ÷ 37 × 100 = 7%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/37, so part = 7 × 37 ÷ 100 = 2.59. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7%*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

2.59 is the 7% share of 37. The remaining 93% is 34.41, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 7% off an item priced $37 saves $2.59, so you pay $34.41.

Adding and taking away 7%

Increasing 37 by 7% gives 39.59 and decreasing it by 7% gives 34.41. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 36.8187, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
