How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 24 = 20.16
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.16 ÷ 24 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/24, so part = 84 × 24 ÷ 100 = 20.16. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

20.16 is the 84% share of 24. The remaining 16% is 3.84, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $24 saves $20.16, so you pay $3.84.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 24 by 84% gives 44.16 and decreasing it by 84% gives 3.84. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 7.0656, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
