How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 46 = 21.62
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.62 ÷ 46 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/46, so part = 47 × 46 ÷ 100 = 21.62. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*46. 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

21.62 is the 47% share of 46. The remaining 53% is 24.38, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $46 saves $21.62, so you pay $24.38.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 46 by 47% gives 67.62 and decreasing it by 47% gives 24.38. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 35.8386, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
