How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
- Multiply: 0.62 × 26 = 16.12
- Check: Work backwards: 16.12 ÷ 26 × 100 = 62%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/26, so part = 62 × 26 ÷ 100 = 16.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =62%*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 62%
Increasing 26 by 62% gives 42.12 and decreasing it by 62% gives 9.88. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 16.0056, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
