How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 18 = 13.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.14 ÷ 18 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/18, so part = 73 × 18 ÷ 100 = 13.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

13.14 is the 73% share of 18. The remaining 27% is 4.86, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $18 saves $13.14, so you pay $4.86.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 18 by 73% gives 31.14 and decreasing it by 73% gives 4.86. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 8.4078, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
