How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 24 = 3.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.36 ÷ 24 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/24, so part = 14 × 24 ÷ 100 = 3.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

3.36 is the 14% share of 24. The remaining 86% is 20.64, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $24 saves $3.36, so you pay $20.64.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 24 by 14% gives 27.36 and decreasing it by 14% gives 20.64. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 23.5296, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
