How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 76 = 18.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18.24 ÷ 76 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/76, so part = 24 × 76 ÷ 100 = 18.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*76. 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

18.24 is the 24% share of 76. The remaining 76% is 57.76, and the two parts add back up to 76.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $76 saves $18.24, so you pay $57.76.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 76 by 24% gives 94.24 and decreasing it by 24% gives 57.76. These do not cancel out: raising 76 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 71.6224, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
