How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 96 = 45.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.12 ÷ 96 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/96, so part = 47 × 96 ÷ 100 = 45.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*96. 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

45.12 is the 47% share of 96. The remaining 53% is 50.88, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $96 saves $45.12, so you pay $50.88.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 96 by 47% gives 141.12 and decreasing it by 47% gives 50.88. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 74.7936, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
