How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 18 = 12.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.78 ÷ 18 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/18, so part = 71 × 18 ÷ 100 = 12.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

12.78 is the 71% share of 18. The remaining 29% is 5.22, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $18 saves $12.78, so you pay $5.22.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 18 by 71% gives 30.78 and decreasing it by 71% gives 5.22. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 8.9262, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
