How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 49 = 8.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.82 ÷ 49 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/49, so part = 18 × 49 ÷ 100 = 8.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*49. 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

8.82 is the 18% share of 49. The remaining 82% is 40.18, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $49 saves $8.82, so you pay $40.18.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 49 by 18% gives 57.82 and decreasing it by 18% gives 40.18. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 47.4124, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
