How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 70 = 12.6
- Check: Work backwards: 12.6 ÷ 70 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/70, so part = 18 × 70 ÷ 100 = 12.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*70. 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
12.6 is the 18% share of 70. The remaining 82% is 57.4, and the two parts add back up to 70.
Discounts: 18% off an item priced $70 saves $12.6, so you pay $57.4.
Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 70 by 18% gives 82.6 and decreasing it by 18% gives 57.4. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 67.732, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
