How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 96 ÷ 100 = 0.96
  2. Multiply: 0.96 × 26 = 24.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.96 ÷ 26 × 100 = 96%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 96/100 = part/26, so part = 96 × 26 ÷ 100 = 24.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =96%*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

24.96 is the 96% share of 26. The remaining 4% is 1.04, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 96% off an item priced $26 saves $24.96, so you pay $1.04.

Adding and taking away 96%

Increasing 26 by 96% gives 50.96 and decreasing it by 96% gives 1.04. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 96% and then lowering the result by 96% ends at 2.0384, because the second 96% is taken of a bigger number.
