How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 99 = 25.74
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.74 ÷ 99 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/99, so part = 26 × 99 ÷ 100 = 25.74. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*99. 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

25.74 is the 26% share of 99. The remaining 74% is 73.26, and the two parts add back up to 99.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $99 saves $25.74, so you pay $73.26.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 99 by 26% gives 124.74 and decreasing it by 26% gives 73.26. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 92.3076, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
