How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 18 = 6.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.66 ÷ 18 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/18, so part = 37 × 18 ÷ 100 = 6.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*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

6.66 is the 37% share of 18. The remaining 63% is 11.34, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $18 saves $6.66, so you pay $11.34.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 18 by 37% gives 24.66 and decreasing it by 37% gives 11.34. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 15.5358, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
