How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 18 = 17.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.82 ÷ 18 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/18, so part = 99 × 18 ÷ 100 = 17.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

17.82 is the 99% share of 18. The remaining 1% is 0.18, and the two parts add back up to 18.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $18 saves $17.82, so you pay $0.18.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 18 by 99% gives 35.82 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.18. These do not cancel out: raising 18 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.3582, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
