How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 7 = 3.29
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.29 ÷ 7 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/7, so part = 47 × 7 ÷ 100 = 3.29. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*7. 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

3.29 is the 47% share of 7. The remaining 53% is 3.71, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $7 saves $3.29, so you pay $3.71.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 7 by 47% gives 10.29 and decreasing it by 47% gives 3.71. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 5.4537, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
