How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 22 = 5.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.72 ÷ 22 × 100 = 26%.

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

In a spreadsheet: =26%*22. 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 26% share of 22. The remaining 74% is 16.28, and the two parts add back up to 22.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $22 saves $5.72, so you pay $16.28.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 22 by 26% gives 27.72 and decreasing it by 26% gives 16.28. These do not cancel out: raising 22 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 20.5128, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
