How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 84 = 21.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.84 ÷ 84 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/84, so part = 26 × 84 ÷ 100 = 21.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*84. 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

21.84 is the 26% share of 84. The remaining 74% is 62.16, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $84 saves $21.84, so you pay $62.16.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 84 by 26% gives 105.84 and decreasing it by 26% gives 62.16. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 78.3216, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
