How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 24 = 23.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 23.76 ÷ 24 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/24, so part = 99 × 24 ÷ 100 = 23.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

23.76 is the 99% share of 24. The remaining 1% is 0.24, and the two parts add back up to 24.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $24 saves $23.76, so you pay $0.24.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 24 by 99% gives 47.76 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.24. These do not cancel out: raising 24 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.4776, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
