How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 18 = 6.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.48 ÷ 18 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/18, so part = 36 × 18 ÷ 100 = 6.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

6.48 is the 36% share of 18. The remaining 64% is 11.52, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $18 saves $6.48, so you pay $11.52.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 18 by 36% gives 24.48 and decreasing it by 36% gives 11.52. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 15.6672, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
