How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 33 ÷ 100 = 0.33
  2. Multiply: 0.33 × 47 = 15.51
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.51 ÷ 47 × 100 = 33%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 33/100 = part/47, so part = 33 × 47 ÷ 100 = 15.51. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =33%*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

15.51 is the 33% share of 47. The remaining 67% is 31.49, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 33% off an item priced $47 saves $15.51, so you pay $31.49.

Adding and taking away 33%

Increasing 47 by 33% gives 62.51 and decreasing it by 33% gives 31.49. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 33% and then lowering the result by 33% ends at 41.8817, because the second 33% is taken of a bigger number.
