How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 90 = 42.3
- Check: Work backwards: 42.3 ÷ 90 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/90, so part = 47 × 90 ÷ 100 = 42.3. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*90. 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
42.3 is the 47% share of 90. The remaining 53% is 47.7, and the two parts add back up to 90.
Discounts: 47% off an item priced $90 saves $42.3, so you pay $47.7.
Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 90 by 47% gives 132.3 and decreasing it by 47% gives 47.7. These do not cancel out: raising 90 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 70.119, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
