How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 24 = 8.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.88 ÷ 24 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/24, so part = 37 × 24 ÷ 100 = 8.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*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

8.88 is the 37% share of 24. The remaining 63% is 15.12, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $24 saves $8.88, so you pay $15.12.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 24 by 37% gives 32.88 and decreasing it by 37% gives 15.12. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 20.7144, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
