How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 26 = 5.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.72 ÷ 26 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/26, so part = 22 × 26 ÷ 100 = 5.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

5.72 is the 22% share of 26. The remaining 78% is 20.28, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $26 saves $5.72, so you pay $20.28.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 26 by 22% gives 31.72 and decreasing it by 22% gives 20.28. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 24.7416, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
