How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 26 = 6.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.76 ÷ 26 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/26, so part = 26 × 26 ÷ 100 = 6.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

6.76 is the 26% share of 26. The remaining 74% is 19.24, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $26 saves $6.76, so you pay $19.24.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 26 by 26% gives 32.76 and decreasing it by 26% gives 19.24. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 24.2424, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
