How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 80 ÷ 100 = 0.8
  2. Multiply: 0.8 × 24 = 19.2
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.2 ÷ 24 × 100 = 80%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 80/100 = part/24, so part = 80 × 24 ÷ 100 = 19.2. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =80%*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

19.2 is the 80% share of 24. The remaining 20% is 4.8, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 80% off an item priced $24 saves $19.2, so you pay $4.8.

Adding and taking away 80%

Increasing 24 by 80% gives 43.2 and decreasing it by 80% gives 4.8. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 80% and then lowering the result by 80% ends at 8.64, because the second 80% is taken of a bigger number.
