How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 26 = 18.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.2 ÷ 26 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/26, so part = 70 × 26 ÷ 100 = 18.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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

18.2 is the 70% share of 26. The remaining 30% is 7.8, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $26 saves $18.2, so you pay $7.8.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 26 by 70% gives 44.2 and decreasing it by 70% gives 7.8. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 13.26, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
