How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 24 = 23.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.28 ÷ 24 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/24, so part = 97 × 24 ÷ 100 = 23.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

23.28 is the 97% share of 24. The remaining 3% is 0.72, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $24 saves $23.28, so you pay $0.72.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 24 by 97% gives 47.28 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.72. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.4184, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
