How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
- Multiply: 0.26 × 59 = 15.34
- Check: Work backwards: 15.34 ÷ 59 × 100 = 26%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/59, so part = 26 × 59 ÷ 100 = 15.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =26%*59. 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

Adding and taking away 26%
Increasing 59 by 26% gives 74.34 and decreasing it by 26% gives 43.66. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 55.0116, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
