How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 46 = 8.28
- Check: Work backwards: 8.28 ÷ 46 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/46, so part = 18 × 46 ÷ 100 = 8.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*46. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 46 by 18% gives 54.28 and decreasing it by 18% gives 37.72. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 44.5096, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
