How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 24 = 6.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.96 ÷ 24 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/24, so part = 29 × 24 ÷ 100 = 6.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*24. 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

6.96 is the 29% share of 24. The remaining 71% is 17.04, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $24 saves $6.96, so you pay $17.04.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 24 by 29% gives 30.96 and decreasing it by 29% gives 17.04. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 21.9816, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
