How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 26 = 2.34
- Check: Work backwards: 2.34 ÷ 26 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/26, so part = 9 × 26 ÷ 100 = 2.34. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*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
2.34 is the 9% share of 26. The remaining 91% is 23.66, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 26 by 9% gives 28.34 and decreasing it by 9% gives 23.66. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 25.7894, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
