How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45
  2. Multiply: 0.45 × 26 = 11.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.7 ÷ 26 × 100 = 45%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/100 = part/26, so part = 45 × 26 ÷ 100 = 11.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45%*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

11.7 is the 45% share of 26. The remaining 55% is 14.3, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 45% off an item priced $26 saves $11.7, so you pay $14.3.

Adding and taking away 45%

Increasing 26 by 45% gives 37.7 and decreasing it by 45% gives 14.3. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 45% and then lowering the result by 45% ends at 20.735, because the second 45% is taken of a bigger number.
