How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 20 = 4.8
- Check: Work backwards: 4.8 ÷ 20 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/20, so part = 24 × 20 ÷ 100 = 4.8. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*20. 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
4.8 is the 24% share of 20. The remaining 76% is 15.2, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 24% off an item priced $20 saves $4.8, so you pay $15.2.
Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 20 by 24% gives 24.8 and decreasing it by 24% gives 15.2. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 18.848, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
