How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 18 = 9.18
- Check: Work backwards: 9.18 ÷ 18 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/18, so part = 51 × 18 ÷ 100 = 9.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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
9.18 is the 51% share of 18. The remaining 49% is 8.82, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 18 by 51% gives 27.18 and decreasing it by 51% gives 8.82. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 13.3182, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
