How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 24 = 4.32
- Check: Work backwards: 4.32 ÷ 24 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/24, so part = 18 × 24 ÷ 100 = 4.32. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*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
4.32 is the 18% share of 24. The remaining 82% is 19.68, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 24 by 18% gives 28.32 and decreasing it by 18% gives 19.68. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 23.2224, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
