How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 7 ÷ 100 = 0.07
- Multiply: 0.07 × 18 = 1.26
- Check: Work backwards: 1.26 ÷ 18 × 100 = 7%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/100 = part/18, so part = 7 × 18 ÷ 100 = 1.26. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =7%*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
1.26 is the 7% share of 18. The remaining 93% is 16.74, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 7% off an item priced $18 saves $1.26, so you pay $16.74.
Adding and taking away 7%
Increasing 18 by 7% gives 19.26 and decreasing it by 7% gives 16.74. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 7% and then lowering the result by 7% ends at 17.9118, because the second 7% is taken of a bigger number.
