How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 47 = 8.46
- Check: Work backwards: 8.46 ÷ 47 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/47, so part = 18 × 47 ÷ 100 = 8.46. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*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.

Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 47 by 18% gives 55.46 and decreasing it by 18% gives 38.54. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 45.4772, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
