How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
  2. Multiply: 0.72 × 37 = 26.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.64 ÷ 37 × 100 = 72%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/37, so part = 72 × 37 ÷ 100 = 26.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72%*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

26.64 is the 72% share of 37. The remaining 28% is 10.36, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 72% off an item priced $37 saves $26.64, so you pay $10.36.

Adding and taking away 72%

Increasing 37 by 72% gives 63.64 and decreasing it by 72% gives 10.36. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 17.8192, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
