How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 46 = 11.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.04 ÷ 46 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/46, so part = 24 × 46 ÷ 100 = 11.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*46. 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

11.04 is the 24% share of 46. The remaining 76% is 34.96, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $46 saves $11.04, so you pay $34.96.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 46 by 24% gives 57.04 and decreasing it by 24% gives 34.96. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 43.3504, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
