How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 24 ÷ 100 = 0.24
- Multiply: 0.24 × 47 = 11.28
- Check: Work backwards: 11.28 ÷ 47 × 100 = 24%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/100 = part/47, so part = 24 × 47 ÷ 100 = 11.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =24%*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

Adding and taking away 24%
Increasing 47 by 24% gives 58.28 and decreasing it by 24% gives 35.72. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 24% and then lowering the result by 24% ends at 44.2928, because the second 24% is taken of a bigger number.
