How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 14 = 2.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.52 ÷ 14 × 100 = 18%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =18%*14. 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 18% share of 14. The remaining 82% is 11.48, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $14 saves $2.52, so you pay $11.48.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 14 by 18% gives 16.52 and decreasing it by 18% gives 11.48. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 13.5464, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
