How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 26 = 25.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25.48 ÷ 26 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/26, so part = 98 × 26 ÷ 100 = 25.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

25.48 is the 98% share of 26. The remaining 2% is 0.52, and the two parts add back up to 26.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $26 saves $25.48, so you pay $0.52.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 26 by 98% gives 51.48 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.52. These do not cancel out: raising 26 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 1.0296, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
