How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 36 = 8.64
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.64 ÷ 36 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/36, so part = 24 × 36 ÷ 100 = 8.64. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*36. 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

8.64 is the 24% share of 36. The remaining 76% is 27.36, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $36 saves $8.64, so you pay $27.36.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 36 by 24% gives 44.64 and decreasing it by 24% gives 27.36. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 33.9264, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
