How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
  2. Multiply: 0.71 × 26 = 18.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.46 ÷ 26 × 100 = 71%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/26, so part = 71 × 26 ÷ 100 = 18.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =71%*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

18.46 is the 71% share of 26. The remaining 29% is 7.54, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 71% off an item priced $26 saves $18.46, so you pay $7.54.

Adding and taking away 71%

Increasing 26 by 71% gives 44.46 and decreasing it by 71% gives 7.54. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 12.8934, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
