How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
  2. Multiply: 0.74 × 24 = 17.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.76 ÷ 24 × 100 = 74%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/24, so part = 74 × 24 ÷ 100 = 17.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =74%*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

17.76 is the 74% share of 24. The remaining 26% is 6.24, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 74% off an item priced $24 saves $17.76, so you pay $6.24.

Adding and taking away 74%

Increasing 24 by 74% gives 41.76 and decreasing it by 74% gives 6.24. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 10.8576, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
