What percentage of 37 is 7?
For instance if someone on 37 hours was to have their hours reduced to 30 what % would that be?
No reason to ask - just wondering

TIA

37/100 x 30 = 11.1 hours

7 devided by 37 multiplied by 100 gives the percentage. 18.92%

19 % approx

[chrisgel]

18.9 %

7 is18.9% of 37.

With these sort of questions start by thinking what would 1% be?

1% of 37 is obviosly 0.37 (37 divided by 100)

Now it's been reduced by 7 so how many 1%s make 7?

you calculate 7 divided by 0.37 = 18.9% as Sandy says
