How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
  2. Multiply: 0.24 × 88 = 21.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.12 ÷ 88 × 100 = 24%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/88, so part = 24 × 88 ÷ 100 = 21.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24%*88. 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

21.12 is the 24% share of 88. The remaining 76% is 66.88, and the two parts add back up to 88.

Discounts: 24% off an item priced $88 saves $21.12, so you pay $66.88.

Adding and taking away 24%

Increasing 88 by 24% gives 109.12 and decreasing it by 24% gives 66.88. These do not cancel out: raising 88 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 82.9312, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
