How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
  2. Multiply: 0.51 × 24 = 12.24
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.24 ÷ 24 × 100 = 51%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/24, so part = 51 × 24 ÷ 100 = 12.24. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

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

Discounts: 51% off an item priced $24 saves $12.24, so you pay $11.76.

Adding and taking away 51%

Increasing 24 by 51% gives 36.24 and decreasing it by 51% gives 11.76. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 17.7576, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
