How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
  2. Multiply: 0.18 × 26 = 4.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.68 ÷ 26 × 100 = 18%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/26, so part = 18 × 26 ÷ 100 = 4.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =18%*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

4.68 is the 18% share of 26. The remaining 82% is 21.32, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 18% off an item priced $26 saves $4.68, so you pay $21.32.

Adding and taking away 18%

Increasing 26 by 18% gives 30.68 and decreasing it by 18% gives 21.32. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 25.1576, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
