How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 24 = 9.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.12 ÷ 24 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/24, so part = 38 × 24 ÷ 100 = 9.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

9.12 is the 38% share of 24. The remaining 62% is 14.88, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $24 saves $9.12, so you pay $14.88.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 24 by 38% gives 33.12 and decreasing it by 38% gives 14.88. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 20.5344, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
