How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 35 ÷ 100 = 0.35
  2. Multiply: 0.35 × 18 = 6.3
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.3 ÷ 18 × 100 = 35%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/100 = part/18, so part = 35 × 18 ÷ 100 = 6.3. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35%*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

6.3 is the 35% share of 18. The remaining 65% is 11.7, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 35% off an item priced $18 saves $6.3, so you pay $11.7.

Adding and taking away 35%

Increasing 18 by 35% gives 24.3 and decreasing it by 35% gives 11.7. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 35% and then lowering the result by 35% ends at 15.795, because the second 35% is taken of a bigger number.
