How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 19 ÷ 100 = 0.19
  2. Multiply: 0.19 × 18 = 3.42
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.42 ÷ 18 × 100 = 19%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 19/100 = part/18, so part = 19 × 18 ÷ 100 = 3.42. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =19%*18. 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

3.42 is the 19% share of 18. The remaining 81% is 14.58, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 19% off an item priced $18 saves $3.42, so you pay $14.58.

Adding and taking away 19%

Increasing 18 by 19% gives 21.42 and decreasing it by 19% gives 14.58. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 19% and then lowering the result by 19% ends at 17.3502, because the second 19% is taken of a bigger number.
