How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 95 ÷ 100 = 0.95
  2. Multiply: 0.95 × 24 = 22.8
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.8 ÷ 24 × 100 = 95%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 95/100 = part/24, so part = 95 × 24 ÷ 100 = 22.8. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =95%*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

22.8 is the 95% share of 24. The remaining 5% is 1.2, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 95% off an item priced $24 saves $22.8, so you pay $1.2.

Adding and taking away 95%

Increasing 24 by 95% gives 46.8 and decreasing it by 95% gives 1.2. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 95% and then lowering the result by 95% ends at 2.34, because the second 95% is taken of a bigger number.
