How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
  2. Multiply: 0.54 × 24 = 12.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.96 ÷ 24 × 100 = 54%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/24, so part = 54 × 24 ÷ 100 = 12.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =54%*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

12.96 is the 54% share of 24. The remaining 46% is 11.04, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 54% off an item priced $24 saves $12.96, so you pay $11.04.

Adding and taking away 54%

Increasing 24 by 54% gives 36.96 and decreasing it by 54% gives 11.04. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 17.0016, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
