How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 73 = 13.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.14 ÷ 73 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/73, so part = 18 × 73 ÷ 100 = 13.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*73. 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

13.14 is the 18% share of 73. The remaining 82% is 59.86, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $73 saves $13.14, so you pay $59.86.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 73 by 18% gives 86.14 and decreasing it by 18% gives 59.86. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 70.6348, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
