How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 18 = 5.22
- Check: Work backwards: 5.22 ÷ 18 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/18, so part = 29 × 18 ÷ 100 = 5.22. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*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 29%
Increasing 18 by 29% gives 23.22 and decreasing it by 29% gives 12.78. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 16.4862, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
