How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 26 = 15.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.08 ÷ 26 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/26, so part = 58 × 26 ÷ 100 = 15.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

15.08 is the 58% share of 26. The remaining 42% is 10.92, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $26 saves $15.08, so you pay $10.92.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 26 by 58% gives 41.08 and decreasing it by 58% gives 10.92. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 17.2536, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
