How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 32 = 15.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.04 ÷ 32 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/32, so part = 47 × 32 ÷ 100 = 15.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*32. 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

15.04 is the 47% share of 32. The remaining 53% is 16.96, and the two parts add back up to 32.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $32 saves $15.04, so you pay $16.96.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 32 by 47% gives 47.04 and decreasing it by 47% gives 16.96. These do not cancel out: raising 32 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 24.9312, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
