How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 37 = 35.89
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.89 ÷ 37 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/37, so part = 97 × 37 ÷ 100 = 35.89. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

35.89 is the 97% share of 37. The remaining 3% is 1.11, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $37 saves $35.89, so you pay $1.11.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 37 by 97% gives 72.89 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.11. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.1867, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
