How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
- Multiply: 0.9 × 18 = 16.2
- Check: Work backwards: 16.2 ÷ 18 × 100 = 90%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/18, so part = 90 × 18 ÷ 100 = 16.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =90%*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
16.2 is the 90% share of 18. The remaining 10% is 1.8, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 90% off an item priced $18 saves $16.2, so you pay $1.8.
Adding and taking away 90%
Increasing 18 by 90% gives 34.2 and decreasing it by 90% gives 1.8. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 3.42, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
