How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 39 ÷ 100 = 0.39
- Multiply: 0.39 × 47 = 18.33
- Check: Work backwards: 18.33 ÷ 47 × 100 = 39%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 39/100 = part/47, so part = 39 × 47 ÷ 100 = 18.33. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =39%*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.

Adding and taking away 39%
Increasing 47 by 39% gives 65.33 and decreasing it by 39% gives 28.67. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 39% and then lowering the result by 39% ends at 39.8513, because the second 39% is taken of a bigger number.
