How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 46 = 11.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.96 ÷ 46 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/46, so part = 26 × 46 ÷ 100 = 11.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*46. 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

11.96 is the 26% share of 46. The remaining 74% is 34.04, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $46 saves $11.96, so you pay $34.04.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 46 by 26% gives 57.96 and decreasing it by 26% gives 34.04. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 42.8904, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
