How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
- Multiply: 0.26 × 10 = 2.6
- Check: Work backwards: 2.6 ÷ 10 × 100 = 26%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/10, so part = 26 × 10 ÷ 100 = 2.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =26%*10. 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
2.6 is the 26% share of 10. The remaining 74% is 7.4, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 26% off an item priced $10 saves $2.6, so you pay $7.4.
Adding and taking away 26%
Increasing 10 by 26% gives 12.6 and decreasing it by 26% gives 7.4. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 9.324, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
