How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 35 = 16.45
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.45 ÷ 35 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/35, so part = 47 × 35 ÷ 100 = 16.45. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*35. 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

16.45 is the 47% share of 35. The remaining 53% is 18.55, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $35 saves $16.45, so you pay $18.55.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 35 by 47% gives 51.45 and decreasing it by 47% gives 18.55. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 27.2685, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
