How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 47 = 16.92
- Check: Work backwards: 16.92 ÷ 47 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/47, so part = 36 × 47 ÷ 100 = 16.92. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*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 36%
Increasing 47 by 36% gives 63.92 and decreasing it by 36% gives 30.08. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 40.9088, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
