How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 18 = 3.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 18 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/18, so part = 22 × 18 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

3.96 is the 22% share of 18. The remaining 78% is 14.04, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $18 saves $3.96, so you pay $14.04.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 18 by 22% gives 21.96 and decreasing it by 22% gives 14.04. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 17.1288, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
