How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 24 = 12.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.48 ÷ 24 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/24, so part = 52 × 24 ÷ 100 = 12.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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

12.48 is the 52% share of 24. The remaining 48% is 11.52, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $24 saves $12.48, so you pay $11.52.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 24 by 52% gives 36.48 and decreasing it by 52% gives 11.52. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 17.5104, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
