How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 47 = 0.085106
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.085106 × 100 = 8.5106%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.5106% of 47 is 0.085106 × 47 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/47 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 47 = 8.5106%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/47*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

4 is less than a tenth of 47. The part that is left, 43, is the other 91.4894%.
