How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
- Multiply: 0.5 × 94 = 47
- Check: Work backwards: 47 ÷ 94 × 100 = 50%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/100 = part/94, so part = 50 × 94 ÷ 100 = 47. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =50%*94. 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
47 is the 50% share of 94. The remaining 50% is 47, and the two parts add back up to 94.
Discounts: 50% off an item priced $94 saves $47, so you pay $47.
Adding and taking away 50%
Increasing 94 by 50% gives 141 and decreasing it by 50% gives 47. These do not cancel out: raising 94 by 50% and then lowering the result by 50% ends at 70.5, because the second 50% is taken of a bigger number.
