How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 24 = 5.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.28 ÷ 24 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/24, so part = 22 × 24 ÷ 100 = 5.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

5.28 is the 22% share of 24. The remaining 78% is 18.72, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $24 saves $5.28, so you pay $18.72.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 24 by 22% gives 29.28 and decreasing it by 22% gives 18.72. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 22.8384, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
