How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 18 = 17.64
- Check: Work backwards: 17.64 ÷ 18 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/18, so part = 98 × 18 ÷ 100 = 17.64. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*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
17.64 is the 98% share of 18. The remaining 2% is 0.36, and the two parts add back up to 18.
Discounts: 98% off an item priced $18 saves $17.64, so you pay $0.36.
Adding and taking away 98%
Increasing 18 by 98% gives 35.64 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.36. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.7128, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
