How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 49 ÷ 100 = 0.49
- Multiply: 0.49 × 47 = 23.03
- Check: Work backwards: 23.03 ÷ 47 × 100 = 49%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 49/100 = part/47, so part = 49 × 47 ÷ 100 = 23.03. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =49%*47. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
