How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.9
  2. Multiply: 0.9 × 24 = 21.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.6 ÷ 24 × 100 = 90%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 90/100 = part/24, so part = 90 × 24 ÷ 100 = 21.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =90%*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

21.6 is the 90% share of 24. The remaining 10% is 2.4, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 90% off an item priced $24 saves $21.6, so you pay $2.4.

Adding and taking away 90%

Increasing 24 by 90% gives 45.6 and decreasing it by 90% gives 2.4. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 90% and then lowering the result by 90% ends at 4.56, because the second 90% is taken of a bigger number.
