How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 47 = 6.11
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.11 ÷ 47 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/47, so part = 13 × 47 ÷ 100 = 6.11. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*47. 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

6.11 is the 13% share of 47. The remaining 87% is 40.89, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $47 saves $6.11, so you pay $40.89.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 47 by 13% gives 53.11 and decreasing it by 13% gives 40.89. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 46.2057, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
