How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 26 = 16.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.64 ÷ 26 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/26, so part = 64 × 26 ÷ 100 = 16.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*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

16.64 is the 64% share of 26. The remaining 36% is 9.36, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $26 saves $16.64, so you pay $9.36.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 26 by 64% gives 42.64 and decreasing it by 64% gives 9.36. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 15.3504, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
