How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
  2. Multiply: 0.68 × 26 = 17.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.68 ÷ 26 × 100 = 68%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/26, so part = 68 × 26 ÷ 100 = 17.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68%*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

17.68 is the 68% share of 26. The remaining 32% is 8.32, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 68% off an item priced $26 saves $17.68, so you pay $8.32.

Adding and taking away 68%

Increasing 26 by 68% gives 43.68 and decreasing it by 68% gives 8.32. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 13.9776, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
