How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 32 = 5.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.76 ÷ 32 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/32, so part = 18 × 32 ÷ 100 = 5.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*32. 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

5.76 is the 18% share of 32. The remaining 82% is 26.24, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $32 saves $5.76, so you pay $26.24.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 32 by 18% gives 37.76 and decreasing it by 18% gives 26.24. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 30.9632, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
