How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
- Multiply: 0.96 × 18 = 17.28
- Check: Work backwards: 17.28 ÷ 18 × 100 = 96%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/18, so part = 96 × 18 ÷ 100 = 17.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =96%*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
17.28 is the 96% share of 18. The remaining 4% is 0.72, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Adding and taking away 96%
Increasing 18 by 96% gives 35.28 and decreasing it by 96% gives 0.72. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 1.4112, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
