How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 26 = 7.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.28 ÷ 26 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/26, so part = 28 × 26 ÷ 100 = 7.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*26. 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

7.28 is the 28% share of 26. The remaining 72% is 18.72, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $26 saves $7.28, so you pay $18.72.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 26 by 28% gives 33.28 and decreasing it by 28% gives 18.72. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 23.9616, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
