How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 30 ÷ 100 = 0.3
- Multiply: 0.3 × 26 = 7.8
- Check: Work backwards: 7.8 ÷ 26 × 100 = 30%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/100 = part/26, so part = 30 × 26 ÷ 100 = 7.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =30%*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
7.8 is the 30% share of 26. The remaining 70% is 18.2, and the two parts add back up to 26.
Discounts: 30% off an item priced $26 saves $7.8, so you pay $18.2.
Adding and taking away 30%
Increasing 26 by 30% gives 33.8 and decreasing it by 30% gives 18.2. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 30% and then lowering the result by 30% ends at 23.66, because the second 30% is taken of a bigger number.
