How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 26 = 4.16
- Check: Work backwards: 4.16 ÷ 26 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/26, so part = 16 × 26 ÷ 100 = 4.16. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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

Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 26 by 16% gives 30.16 and decreasing it by 16% gives 21.84. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 25.3344, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
