How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
  2. Multiply: 0.77 × 26 = 20.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.02 ÷ 26 × 100 = 77%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/26, so part = 77 × 26 ÷ 100 = 20.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =77%*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

20.02 is the 77% share of 26. The remaining 23% is 5.98, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 77% off an item priced $26 saves $20.02, so you pay $5.98.

Adding and taking away 77%

Increasing 26 by 77% gives 46.02 and decreasing it by 77% gives 5.98. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 77% and then lowering the result by 77% ends at 10.5846, because the second 77% is taken of a bigger number.
