How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 48 = 22.56
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.56 ÷ 48 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/48, so part = 47 × 48 ÷ 100 = 22.56. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*48. 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

22.56 is the 47% share of 48. The remaining 53% is 25.44, and the two parts add back up to 48.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $48 saves $22.56, so you pay $25.44.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 48 by 47% gives 70.56 and decreasing it by 47% gives 25.44. These do not cancel out: raising 48 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 37.3968, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
