How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 64 = 15.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.36 ÷ 64 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/64, so part = 24 × 64 ÷ 100 = 15.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*64. 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

15.36 is the 24% share of 64. The remaining 76% is 48.64, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $64 saves $15.36, so you pay $48.64.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 64 by 24% gives 79.36 and decreasing it by 24% gives 48.64. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 60.3136, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
