How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
  2. Multiply: 0.34 × 18 = 6.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.12 ÷ 18 × 100 = 34%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/18, so part = 34 × 18 ÷ 100 = 6.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =34%*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

6.12 is the 34% share of 18. The remaining 66% is 11.88, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 34% off an item priced $18 saves $6.12, so you pay $11.88.

Adding and taking away 34%

Increasing 18 by 34% gives 24.12 and decreasing it by 34% gives 11.88. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 15.9192, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
