How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 26 = 9.88
- Check: Work backwards: 9.88 ÷ 26 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/26, so part = 38 × 26 ÷ 100 = 9.88. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 26 by 38% gives 35.88 and decreasing it by 38% gives 16.12. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 22.2456, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
