How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
- Multiply: 0.08 × 37 = 2.96
- Check: Work backwards: 2.96 ÷ 37 × 100 = 8%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/37, so part = 8 × 37 ÷ 100 = 2.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =8%*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
2.96 is the 8% share of 37. The remaining 92% is 34.04, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Adding and taking away 8%
Increasing 37 by 8% gives 39.96 and decreasing it by 8% gives 34.04. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 36.7632, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
