How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 66 ÷ 100 = 0.66
  2. Multiply: 0.66 × 24 = 15.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.84 ÷ 24 × 100 = 66%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 66/100 = part/24, so part = 66 × 24 ÷ 100 = 15.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =66%*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

15.84 is the 66% share of 24. The remaining 34% is 8.16, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 66% off an item priced $24 saves $15.84, so you pay $8.16.

Adding and taking away 66%

Increasing 24 by 66% gives 39.84 and decreasing it by 66% gives 8.16. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 66% and then lowering the result by 66% ends at 13.5456, because the second 66% is taken of a bigger number.
