How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
- Multiply: 0.26 × 55 = 14.3
- Check: Work backwards: 14.3 ÷ 55 × 100 = 26%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/55, so part = 26 × 55 ÷ 100 = 14.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =26%*55. 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
14.3 is the 26% share of 55. The remaining 74% is 40.7, and the two parts add back up to 55.

Adding and taking away 26%
Increasing 55 by 26% gives 69.3 and decreasing it by 26% gives 40.7. These do not cancel out: raising 55 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 51.282, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
