How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 260 ÷ 100 = 2.6
  2. Multiply: 2.6 × 25 = 65
  3. Check: Work backwards: 65 ÷ 25 × 100 = 260%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 260/100 = part/25, so part = 260 × 25 ÷ 100 = 65. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =260%*25. 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

Because 260% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 25: it is 2.6 times 25.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 260% of its $25 cost means selling it for $65.

Adding and taking away 260%

Increasing 25 by 260% gives 90. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 260% and then lowering the result by 260% ends at -144, because the second 260% is taken of a bigger number.
