How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 18 = 6.84
- Check: Work backwards: 6.84 ÷ 18 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/18, so part = 38 × 18 ÷ 100 = 6.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 18 by 38% gives 24.84 and decreasing it by 38% gives 11.16. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 15.4008, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
