How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 24 = 11.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.28 ÷ 24 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/24, so part = 47 × 24 ÷ 100 = 11.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*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

11.28 is the 47% share of 24. The remaining 53% is 12.72, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $24 saves $11.28, so you pay $12.72.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 24 by 47% gives 35.28 and decreasing it by 47% gives 12.72. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 18.6984, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
