How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 59 = 10.62
- Check: Work backwards: 10.62 ÷ 59 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/59, so part = 18 × 59 ÷ 100 = 10.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*59. 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 59 by 18% gives 69.62 and decreasing it by 18% gives 48.38. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 57.0884, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
