How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
  2. Multiply: 0.74 × 18 = 13.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.32 ÷ 18 × 100 = 74%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/18, so part = 74 × 18 ÷ 100 = 13.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74%*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

13.32 is the 74% share of 18. The remaining 26% is 4.68, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 74% off an item priced $18 saves $13.32, so you pay $4.68.

Adding and taking away 74%

Increasing 18 by 74% gives 31.32 and decreasing it by 74% gives 4.68. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 8.1432, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
