How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 9 = 4.23
- Check: Work backwards: 4.23 ÷ 9 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/9, so part = 47 × 9 ÷ 100 = 4.23. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*9. 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
4.23 is the 47% share of 9. The remaining 53% is 4.77, and the two parts add back up to 9.
Discounts: 47% off an item priced $9 saves $4.23, so you pay $4.77.
Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 9 by 47% gives 13.23 and decreasing it by 47% gives 4.77. These do not cancel out: raising 9 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 7.0119, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
