How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
- Multiply: 0.16 × 24 = 3.84
- Check: Work backwards: 3.84 ÷ 24 × 100 = 16%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/24, so part = 16 × 24 ÷ 100 = 3.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =16%*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
3.84 is the 16% share of 24. The remaining 84% is 20.16, and the two parts add back up to 24.
Discounts: 16% off an item priced $24 saves $3.84, so you pay $20.16.
Adding and taking away 16%
Increasing 24 by 16% gives 27.84 and decreasing it by 16% gives 20.16. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 23.3856, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
