How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 27 = 12.69
- Check: Work backwards: 12.69 ÷ 27 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/27, so part = 47 × 27 ÷ 100 = 12.69. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*27. 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 47%
Increasing 27 by 47% gives 39.69 and decreasing it by 47% gives 14.31. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 21.0357, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
