How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 64 = 30.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.08 ÷ 64 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/64, so part = 47 × 64 ÷ 100 = 30.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*64. 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

30.08 is the 47% share of 64. The remaining 53% is 33.92, and the two parts add back up to 64.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $64 saves $30.08, so you pay $33.92.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 64 by 47% gives 94.08 and decreasing it by 47% gives 33.92. These do not cancel out: raising 64 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 49.8624, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
