How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 26 = 22.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.88 ÷ 26 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/26, so part = 88 × 26 ÷ 100 = 22.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

22.88 is the 88% share of 26. The remaining 12% is 3.12, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $26 saves $22.88, so you pay $3.12.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 26 by 88% gives 48.88 and decreasing it by 88% gives 3.12. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 5.8656, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
