How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 38 = 9.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.12 ÷ 38 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/38, so part = 24 × 38 ÷ 100 = 9.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*38. 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

9.12 is the 24% share of 38. The remaining 76% is 28.88, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $38 saves $9.12, so you pay $28.88.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 38 by 24% gives 47.12 and decreasing it by 24% gives 28.88. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 35.8112, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
