How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.24 × 100 = 24%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24% of 100 is 0.24 × 100 = 24.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 100 = 24%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24/100*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

24 is between a tenth and a quarter of 100. The part that is left, 76, is the other 76%.

Test scores: 24 correct answers out of 100 is a score of 24%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 24 is 24% of a number, you can get that number back: 24 ÷ 0.24 = 100. And 100 as a percentage of 24 is 416.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
