How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 74 = 13.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.32 ÷ 74 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/74, so part = 18 × 74 ÷ 100 = 13.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*74. 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

13.32 is the 18% share of 74. The remaining 82% is 60.68, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $74 saves $13.32, so you pay $60.68.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 74 by 18% gives 87.32 and decreasing it by 18% gives 60.68. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 71.6024, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
