How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 24 = 15.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.12 ÷ 24 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/24, so part = 63 × 24 ÷ 100 = 15.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

15.12 is the 63% share of 24. The remaining 37% is 8.88, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $24 saves $15.12, so you pay $8.88.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 24 by 63% gives 39.12 and decreasing it by 63% gives 8.88. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 14.4744, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
