How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 63 = 16.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.38 ÷ 63 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/63, so part = 26 × 63 ÷ 100 = 16.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*63. 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

16.38 is the 26% share of 63. The remaining 74% is 46.62, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $63 saves $16.38, so you pay $46.62.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 63 by 26% gives 79.38 and decreasing it by 26% gives 46.62. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 58.7412, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
