How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
  2. Multiply: 0.79 × 26 = 20.54
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.54 ÷ 26 × 100 = 79%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/26, so part = 79 × 26 ÷ 100 = 20.54. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79%*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

20.54 is the 79% share of 26. The remaining 21% is 5.46, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 79% off an item priced $26 saves $20.54, so you pay $5.46.

Adding and taking away 79%

Increasing 26 by 79% gives 46.54 and decreasing it by 79% gives 5.46. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 9.7734, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
