How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 85 = 20.4
- Check: Work backwards: 20.4 ÷ 85 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/85, so part = 24 × 85 ÷ 100 = 20.4. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*85. 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
20.4 is the 24% share of 85. The remaining 76% is 64.6, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 85 by 24% gives 105.4 and decreasing it by 24% gives 64.6. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 80.104, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
