How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 24 = 3.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.12 ÷ 24 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/24, so part = 13 × 24 ÷ 100 = 3.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*24. 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

3.12 is the 13% share of 24. The remaining 87% is 20.88, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $24 saves $3.12, so you pay $20.88.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 24 by 13% gives 27.12 and decreasing it by 13% gives 20.88. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 23.5944, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
