How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 25 ÷ 100 = 0.25
  2. Multiply: 0.25 × 260 = 65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65 ÷ 260 × 100 = 25%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 25/100 = part/260, so part = 25 × 260 ÷ 100 = 65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =25%*260. 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

65 is the 25% share of 260. The remaining 75% is 195, and the two parts add back up to 260.

Discounts: 25% off an item priced $260 saves $65, so you pay $195.

Adding and taking away 25%

Increasing 260 by 25% gives 325 and decreasing it by 25% gives 195. These do not cancel out: raising 260 by 25% and then lowering the result by 25% ends at 243.75, because the second 25% is taken of a bigger number.
