How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 79 = 14.22
- Check: Work backwards: 14.22 ÷ 79 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/79, so part = 18 × 79 ÷ 100 = 14.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*79. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 79 by 18% gives 93.22 and decreasing it by 18% gives 64.78. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 76.4404, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
