How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 36 = 6.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.48 ÷ 36 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/36, so part = 18 × 36 ÷ 100 = 6.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*36. 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

6.48 is the 18% share of 36. The remaining 82% is 29.52, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $36 saves $6.48, so you pay $29.52.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 36 by 18% gives 42.48 and decreasing it by 18% gives 29.52. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 34.8336, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
