How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 59 ÷ 100 = 0.59
- Multiply: 0.59 × 18 = 10.62
- Check: Work backwards: 10.62 ÷ 18 × 100 = 59%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 59/100 = part/18, so part = 59 × 18 ÷ 100 = 10.62. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =59%*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

Adding and taking away 59%
Increasing 18 by 59% gives 28.62 and decreasing it by 59% gives 7.38. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 59% and then lowering the result by 59% ends at 11.7342, because the second 59% is taken of a bigger number.
