How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 73 = 18.98
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.98 ÷ 73 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/73, so part = 26 × 73 ÷ 100 = 18.98. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*73. 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

18.98 is the 26% share of 73. The remaining 74% is 54.02, and the two parts add back up to 73.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $73 saves $18.98, so you pay $54.02.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 73 by 26% gives 91.98 and decreasing it by 26% gives 54.02. These do not cancel out: raising 73 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 68.0652, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
