How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 18 = 4.32
- Check: Work backwards: 4.32 ÷ 18 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/18, so part = 24 × 18 ÷ 100 = 4.32. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 18 by 24% gives 22.32 and decreasing it by 24% gives 13.68. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 16.9632, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
