How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 80 = 20.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.8 ÷ 80 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/80, so part = 26 × 80 ÷ 100 = 20.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*80. 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

20.8 is the 26% share of 80. The remaining 74% is 59.2, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $80 saves $20.8, so you pay $59.2.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 80 by 26% gives 100.8 and decreasing it by 26% gives 59.2. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 74.592, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
