How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
- Multiply: 0.45 × 18 = 8.1
- Check: Work backwards: 8.1 ÷ 18 × 100 = 45%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/18, so part = 45 × 18 ÷ 100 = 8.1. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =45%*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
8.1 is the 45% share of 18. The remaining 55% is 9.9, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 45% off an item priced $18 saves $8.1, so you pay $9.9.
Adding and taking away 45%
Increasing 18 by 45% gives 26.1 and decreasing it by 45% gives 9.9. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 14.355, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
