How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 14 = 3.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.64 ÷ 14 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/14, so part = 26 × 14 ÷ 100 = 3.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*14. 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

3.64 is the 26% share of 14. The remaining 74% is 10.36, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $14 saves $3.64, so you pay $10.36.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 14 by 26% gives 17.64 and decreasing it by 26% gives 10.36. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 13.0536, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
