How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 26 = 3.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.38 ÷ 26 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/26, so part = 13 × 26 ÷ 100 = 3.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

3.38 is the 13% share of 26. The remaining 87% is 22.62, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $26 saves $3.38, so you pay $22.62.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 26 by 13% gives 29.38 and decreasing it by 13% gives 22.62. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 25.5606, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
