How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 84 = 20.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.16 ÷ 84 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/84, so part = 24 × 84 ÷ 100 = 20.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*84. 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

20.16 is the 24% share of 84. The remaining 76% is 63.84, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $84 saves $20.16, so you pay $63.84.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 84 by 24% gives 104.16 and decreasing it by 24% gives 63.84. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 79.1616, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
