How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 32 = 8.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.32 ÷ 32 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/32, so part = 26 × 32 ÷ 100 = 8.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*32. 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

8.32 is the 26% share of 32. The remaining 74% is 23.68, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $32 saves $8.32, so you pay $23.68.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 32 by 26% gives 40.32 and decreasing it by 26% gives 23.68. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 29.8368, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
