How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 38 = 6.84
- Check: Work backwards: 6.84 ÷ 38 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/38, so part = 18 × 38 ÷ 100 = 6.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*38. 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

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 38 by 18% gives 44.84 and decreasing it by 18% gives 31.16. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 36.7688, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
