How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 53 ÷ 100 = 0.53
- Multiply: 0.53 × 26 = 13.78
- Check: Work backwards: 13.78 ÷ 26 × 100 = 53%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 53/100 = part/26, so part = 53 × 26 ÷ 100 = 13.78. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =53%*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.

Adding and taking away 53%
Increasing 26 by 53% gives 39.78 and decreasing it by 53% gives 12.22. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 53% and then lowering the result by 53% ends at 18.6966, because the second 53% is taken of a bigger number.
