How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 65 = 30.55
- Check: Work backwards: 30.55 ÷ 65 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/65, so part = 47 × 65 ÷ 100 = 30.55. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*65. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 65 by 47% gives 95.55 and decreasing it by 47% gives 34.45. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 50.6415, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
