How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 51 = 12.24
- Check: Work backwards: 12.24 ÷ 51 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/51, so part = 24 × 51 ÷ 100 = 12.24. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*51. 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

Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 51 by 24% gives 63.24 and decreasing it by 24% gives 38.76. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 48.0624, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
