How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 24 = 21.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.12 ÷ 24 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/24, so part = 88 × 24 ÷ 100 = 21.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

21.12 is the 88% share of 24. The remaining 12% is 2.88, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $24 saves $21.12, so you pay $2.88.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 24 by 88% gives 45.12 and decreasing it by 88% gives 2.88. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 5.4144, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
