How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 60 = 28.2
- Check: Work backwards: 28.2 ÷ 60 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/60, so part = 47 × 60 ÷ 100 = 28.2. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*60. 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
28.2 is the 47% share of 60. The remaining 53% is 31.8, and the two parts add back up to 60.

Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 60 by 47% gives 88.2 and decreasing it by 47% gives 31.8. These do not cancel out: raising 60 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 46.746, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
