How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 10 = 2.4
- Check: Work backwards: 2.4 ÷ 10 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/10, so part = 24 × 10 ÷ 100 = 2.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*10. 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
2.4 is the 24% share of 10. The remaining 76% is 7.6, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 24% off an item priced $10 saves $2.4, so you pay $7.6.
Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 10 by 24% gives 12.4 and decreasing it by 24% gives 7.6. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 9.424, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
