How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 18 = 2.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.52 ÷ 18 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/18, so part = 14 × 18 ÷ 100 = 2.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*18. 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

2.52 is the 14% share of 18. The remaining 86% is 15.48, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $18 saves $2.52, so you pay $15.48.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 18 by 14% gives 20.52 and decreasing it by 14% gives 15.48. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 17.6472, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
