How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 24 = 7.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.68 ÷ 24 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/24, so part = 32 × 24 ÷ 100 = 7.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*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

7.68 is the 32% share of 24. The remaining 68% is 16.32, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $24 saves $7.68, so you pay $16.32.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 24 by 32% gives 31.68 and decreasing it by 32% gives 16.32. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 21.5424, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
