How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 14 = 6.58
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.58 ÷ 14 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/14, so part = 47 × 14 ÷ 100 = 6.58. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*14. 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

6.58 is the 47% share of 14. The remaining 53% is 7.42, and the two parts add back up to 14.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $14 saves $6.58, so you pay $7.42.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 14 by 47% gives 20.58 and decreasing it by 47% gives 7.42. These do not cancel out: raising 14 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 10.9074, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
