How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
  2. Multiply: 0.32 × 47 = 15.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.04 ÷ 47 × 100 = 32%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/47, so part = 32 × 47 ÷ 100 = 15.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =32%*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

15.04 is the 32% share of 47. The remaining 68% is 31.96, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 32% off an item priced $47 saves $15.04, so you pay $31.96.

Adding and taking away 32%

Increasing 47 by 32% gives 62.04 and decreasing it by 32% gives 31.96. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 42.1872, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
