How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 36 = 9.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.36 ÷ 36 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/36, so part = 26 × 36 ÷ 100 = 9.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*36. 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

9.36 is the 26% share of 36. The remaining 74% is 26.64, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $36 saves $9.36, so you pay $26.64.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 36 by 26% gives 45.36 and decreasing it by 26% gives 26.64. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 33.5664, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
