Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 24% of 2.1 using proportion.

24% is 24 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 24 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 2.1.

\[ \frac{ 24 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 2.1 } \]

Cross-multiply: 24 × 2.1 = 100x

\[ 24 \cdot 2.1 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (24 × 2.1) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 50.4 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 24% of 2.1 is 0.504.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 24% to decimal: 0.24

\[ x = 2.1 \cdot 0.24 \]

So, 24% of 2.1 is 0.504.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 24% to decimal: 0.24

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

2.1 × 0.24 = 0.504

Thus, 24% of 2.1 is 0.504.
