How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 18 = 2.88
- Check: Work backwards: 2.88 ÷ 18 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/18, so part = 16 × 18 ÷ 100 = 2.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
2.88 is the 16% share of 18. The remaining 84% is 15.12, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 16% off an item priced $18 saves $2.88, so you pay $15.12.
Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 18 by 16% gives 20.88 and decreasing it by 16% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 17.5392, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
