How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
- Multiply: 0.11 × 26 = 2.86
- Check: Work backwards: 2.86 ÷ 26 × 100 = 11%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/26, so part = 11 × 26 ÷ 100 = 2.86. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =11%*26. 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
2.86 is the 11% share of 26. The remaining 89% is 23.14, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Adding and taking away 11%
Increasing 26 by 11% gives 28.86 and decreasing it by 11% gives 23.14. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 25.6854, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
