How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 4 ÷ 100 = 0.04
  2. Multiply: 0.04 × 24 = 0.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.96 ÷ 24 × 100 = 4%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/100 = part/24, so part = 4 × 24 ÷ 100 = 0.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4%*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

0.96 is the 4% share of 24. The remaining 96% is 23.04, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 4% off an item priced $24 saves $0.96, so you pay $23.04.

Adding and taking away 4%

Increasing 24 by 4% gives 24.96 and decreasing it by 4% gives 23.04. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 4% and then lowering the result by 4% ends at 23.9616, because the second 4% is taken of a bigger number.
