How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 56 = 13.44
- Check: Work backwards: 13.44 ÷ 56 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/56, so part = 24 × 56 ÷ 100 = 13.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*56. 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 56 by 24% gives 69.44 and decreasing it by 24% gives 42.56. These do not cancel out: raising 56 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 52.7744, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
