What is 5 percent of 737?

Answer: 36.85

Below you can find the procedure and formula used to arrive at the above answer.

Lets assume 5 percent of 737 is X.

Therefore, we can also say, X = 5% of 737

5% can also be written as 5/100, because percent denotes a number per 100.

So, X = 5/100 × 737

Or, X = 0.05 × 737

So, X = 36.85

So, 5% of 737 is 36.85

(You may also first multiply 5 with 737, and then divide by 100 to find the answer, if that's easier for you.)

% of

Now that we have calculated the answer, lets verify it using the percentage formula.

Percentage = Value/Total Value × 100

LHS (Percentage) = 5

RHS = 36.85/737 × 100

Or, RHS = 0.05 × 100

So, RHS = 5

We can see that LHS = RHS, hence it's proved.
