How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 47 = 13.63
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.63 ÷ 47 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/47, so part = 29 × 47 ÷ 100 = 13.63. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*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

13.63 is the 29% share of 47. The remaining 71% is 33.37, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $47 saves $13.63, so you pay $33.37.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 47 by 29% gives 60.63 and decreasing it by 29% gives 33.37. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 43.0473, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
