How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 18 = 9.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.36 ÷ 18 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/18, so part = 52 × 18 ÷ 100 = 9.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

9.36 is the 52% share of 18. The remaining 48% is 8.64, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $18 saves $9.36, so you pay $8.64.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 18 by 52% gives 27.36 and decreasing it by 52% gives 8.64. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 13.1328, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
