How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 99 = 17.82
- Check: Work backwards: 17.82 ÷ 99 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/99, so part = 18 × 99 ÷ 100 = 17.82. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*99. 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
17.82 is the 18% share of 99. The remaining 82% is 81.18, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 99 by 18% gives 116.82 and decreasing it by 18% gives 81.18. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 95.7924, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
