How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 24 = 13.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.92 ÷ 24 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/24, so part = 58 × 24 ÷ 100 = 13.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

13.92 is the 58% share of 24. The remaining 42% is 10.08, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $24 saves $13.92, so you pay $10.08.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 24 by 58% gives 37.92 and decreasing it by 58% gives 10.08. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 15.9264, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
