How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 26 = 24.7
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.7 ÷ 26 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/26, so part = 95 × 26 ÷ 100 = 24.7. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

24.7 is the 95% share of 26. The remaining 5% is 1.3, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $26 saves $24.7, so you pay $1.3.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 26 by 95% gives 50.7 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1.3. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 2.535, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
