How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 26 = 16.38
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.38 ÷ 26 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/26, so part = 63 × 26 ÷ 100 = 16.38. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

16.38 is the 63% share of 26. The remaining 37% is 9.62, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $26 saves $16.38, so you pay $9.62.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 26 by 63% gives 42.38 and decreasing it by 63% gives 9.62. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 15.6806, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
