How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 26 = 5.98
- Check: Work backwards: 5.98 ÷ 26 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/26, so part = 23 × 26 ÷ 100 = 5.98. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*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
5.98 is the 23% share of 26. The remaining 77% is 20.02, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Adding and taking away 23%
Increasing 26 by 23% gives 31.98 and decreasing it by 23% gives 20.02. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 24.6246, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
