How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 18 = 10.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.44 ÷ 18 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/18, so part = 58 × 18 ÷ 100 = 10.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

10.44 is the 58% share of 18. The remaining 42% is 7.56, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $18 saves $10.44, so you pay $7.56.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 18 by 58% gives 28.44 and decreasing it by 58% gives 7.56. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 11.9448, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
