How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
  2. Multiply: 0.49 × 24 = 11.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.76 ÷ 24 × 100 = 49%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/24, so part = 49 × 24 ÷ 100 = 11.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =49%*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

11.76 is the 49% share of 24. The remaining 51% is 12.24, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 49% off an item priced $24 saves $11.76, so you pay $12.24.

Adding and taking away 49%

Increasing 24 by 49% gives 35.76 and decreasing it by 49% gives 12.24. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 49% and then lowering the result by 49% ends at 18.2376, because the second 49% is taken of a bigger number.
