How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 32 = 7.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.68 ÷ 32 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/32, so part = 24 × 32 ÷ 100 = 7.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*32. 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

7.68 is the 24% share of 32. The remaining 76% is 24.32, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $32 saves $7.68, so you pay $24.32.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 32 by 24% gives 39.68 and decreasing it by 24% gives 24.32. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 30.1568, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
