How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 6 = 1.44
- Check: Work backwards: 1.44 ÷ 6 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/6, so part = 24 × 6 ÷ 100 = 1.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*6. 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
1.44 is the 24% share of 6. The remaining 76% is 4.56, and the two parts add back up to 6.
Discounts: 24% off an item priced $6 saves $1.44, so you pay $4.56.
Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 6 by 24% gives 7.44 and decreasing it by 24% gives 4.56. These do not cancel out: raising 6 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 5.6544, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
