How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
  2. Multiply: 0.82 × 24 = 19.68
  3. Check: Work backwards: 19.68 ÷ 24 × 100 = 82%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/24, so part = 82 × 24 ÷ 100 = 19.68. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =82%*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

19.68 is the 82% share of 24. The remaining 18% is 4.32, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 82% off an item priced $24 saves $19.68, so you pay $4.32.

Adding and taking away 82%

Increasing 24 by 82% gives 43.68 and decreasing it by 82% gives 4.32. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 7.8624, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
