How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 24 = 23.52
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.52 ÷ 24 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/24, so part = 98 × 24 ÷ 100 = 23.52. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

23.52 is the 98% share of 24. The remaining 2% is 0.48, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $24 saves $23.52, so you pay $0.48.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 24 by 98% gives 47.52 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.48. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.9504, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
