How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 26 = 12.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.48 ÷ 26 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/26, so part = 48 × 26 ÷ 100 = 12.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

12.48 is the 48% share of 26. The remaining 52% is 13.52, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $26 saves $12.48, so you pay $13.52.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 26 by 48% gives 38.48 and decreasing it by 48% gives 13.52. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 20.0096, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
