How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
  2. Multiply: 0.68 × 24 = 16.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.32 ÷ 24 × 100 = 68%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/24, so part = 68 × 24 ÷ 100 = 16.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =68%*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

16.32 is the 68% share of 24. The remaining 32% is 7.68, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 68% off an item priced $24 saves $16.32, so you pay $7.68.

Adding and taking away 68%

Increasing 24 by 68% gives 40.32 and decreasing it by 68% gives 7.68. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 12.9024, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
