How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 28 = 6.72
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.72 ÷ 28 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/28, so part = 24 × 28 ÷ 100 = 6.72. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*28. 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

6.72 is the 24% share of 28. The remaining 76% is 21.28, and the two parts add back up to 28.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $28 saves $6.72, so you pay $21.28.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 28 by 24% gives 34.72 and decreasing it by 24% gives 21.28. These do not cancel out: raising 28 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 26.3872, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
