How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 26 = 9.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.36 ÷ 26 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/26, so part = 36 × 26 ÷ 100 = 9.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

9.36 is the 36% share of 26. The remaining 64% is 16.64, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $26 saves $9.36, so you pay $16.64.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 26 by 36% gives 35.36 and decreasing it by 36% gives 16.64. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 22.6304, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
