How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 58 = 10.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.44 ÷ 58 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/58, so part = 18 × 58 ÷ 100 = 10.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*58. 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

10.44 is the 18% share of 58. The remaining 82% is 47.56, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $58 saves $10.44, so you pay $47.56.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 58 by 18% gives 68.44 and decreasing it by 18% gives 47.56. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 56.1208, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
