How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 18 = 9.72
- Check: Work backwards: 9.72 ÷ 18 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/18, so part = 54 × 18 ÷ 100 = 9.72. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*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
9.72 is the 54% share of 18. The remaining 46% is 8.28, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Adding and taking away 54%
Increasing 18 by 54% gives 27.72 and decreasing it by 54% gives 8.28. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 12.7512, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
