How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 83 = 14.94
- Check: Work backwards: 14.94 ÷ 83 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/83, so part = 18 × 83 ÷ 100 = 14.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*83. 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

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 83 by 18% gives 97.94 and decreasing it by 18% gives 68.06. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 80.3108, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
