How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 52 = 13.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.52 ÷ 52 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/52, so part = 26 × 52 ÷ 100 = 13.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*52. 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

13.52 is the 26% share of 52. The remaining 74% is 38.48, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $52 saves $13.52, so you pay $38.48.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 52 by 26% gives 65.52 and decreasing it by 26% gives 38.48. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 48.4848, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
