How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 13 = 3.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.12 ÷ 13 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/13, so part = 24 × 13 ÷ 100 = 3.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*13. 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

3.12 is the 24% share of 13. The remaining 76% is 9.88, and the two parts add back up to 13.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $13 saves $3.12, so you pay $9.88.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 13 by 24% gives 16.12 and decreasing it by 24% gives 9.88. These do not cancel out: raising 13 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 12.2512, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
