How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 75 = 13.5
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.5 ÷ 75 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/75, so part = 18 × 75 ÷ 100 = 13.5. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*75. 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

13.5 is the 18% share of 75. The remaining 82% is 61.5, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $75 saves $13.5, so you pay $61.5.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 75 by 18% gives 88.5 and decreasing it by 18% gives 61.5. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 72.57, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
