How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 68 = 12.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.24 ÷ 68 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/68, so part = 18 × 68 ÷ 100 = 12.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*68. 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

12.24 is the 18% share of 68. The remaining 82% is 55.76, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $68 saves $12.24, so you pay $55.76.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 68 by 18% gives 80.24 and decreasing it by 18% gives 55.76. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 65.7968, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
