How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 69 = 12.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.42 ÷ 69 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/69, so part = 18 × 69 ÷ 100 = 12.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*69. 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

12.42 is the 18% share of 69. The remaining 82% is 56.58, and the two parts add back up to 69.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $69 saves $12.42, so you pay $56.58.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 69 by 18% gives 81.42 and decreasing it by 18% gives 56.58. These do not cancel out: raising 69 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 66.7644, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
