How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 26 = 25.22
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.22 ÷ 26 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/26, so part = 97 × 26 ÷ 100 = 25.22. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

25.22 is the 97% share of 26. The remaining 3% is 0.78, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $26 saves $25.22, so you pay $0.78.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 26 by 97% gives 51.22 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.78. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.5366, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
