How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 59 = 14.16
- Check: Work backwards: 14.16 ÷ 59 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/59, so part = 24 × 59 ÷ 100 = 14.16. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*59. 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 59 by 24% gives 73.16 and decreasing it by 24% gives 44.84. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 55.6016, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
