How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
- Multiply: 0.23 × 47 = 10.81
- Check: Work backwards: 10.81 ÷ 47 × 100 = 23%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/47, so part = 23 × 47 ÷ 100 = 10.81. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =23%*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 23%
Increasing 47 by 23% gives 57.81 and decreasing it by 23% gives 36.19. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 44.5137, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
