How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
- Multiply: 0.33 × 18 = 5.94
- Check: Work backwards: 5.94 ÷ 18 × 100 = 33%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/18, so part = 33 × 18 ÷ 100 = 5.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =33%*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
5.94 is the 33% share of 18. The remaining 67% is 12.06, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 33% off an item priced $18 saves $5.94, so you pay $12.06.
Adding and taking away 33%
Increasing 18 by 33% gives 23.94 and decreasing it by 33% gives 12.06. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 16.0398, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
