How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 37 = 32.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 32.56 ÷ 37 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/37, so part = 88 × 37 ÷ 100 = 32.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

32.56 is the 88% share of 37. The remaining 12% is 4.44, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $37 saves $32.56, so you pay $4.44.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 37 by 88% gives 69.56 and decreasing it by 88% gives 4.44. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 8.3472, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
