How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 51 = 13.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.26 ÷ 51 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/51, so part = 26 × 51 ÷ 100 = 13.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*51. 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

13.26 is the 26% share of 51. The remaining 74% is 37.74, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $51 saves $13.26, so you pay $37.74.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 51 by 26% gives 64.26 and decreasing it by 26% gives 37.74. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 47.5524, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
