How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
- Multiply: 0.31 × 18 = 5.58
- Check: Work backwards: 5.58 ÷ 18 × 100 = 31%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/18, so part = 31 × 18 ÷ 100 = 5.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =31%*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
5.58 is the 31% share of 18. The remaining 69% is 12.42, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Adding and taking away 31%
Increasing 18 by 31% gives 23.58 and decreasing it by 31% gives 12.42. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 16.2702, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
