How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 26 = 17.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.16 ÷ 26 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/26, so part = 66 × 26 ÷ 100 = 17.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*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

17.16 is the 66% share of 26. The remaining 34% is 8.84, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $26 saves $17.16, so you pay $8.84.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 26 by 66% gives 43.16 and decreasing it by 66% gives 8.84. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 14.6744, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
