How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 37 = 36.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.26 ÷ 37 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/37, so part = 98 × 37 ÷ 100 = 36.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

36.26 is the 98% share of 37. The remaining 2% is 0.74, and the two parts add back up to 37.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $37 saves $36.26, so you pay $0.74.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 37 by 98% gives 73.26 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.74. These do not cancel out: raising 37 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.4652, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
