How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
  2. Multiply: 0.52 × 47 = 24.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.44 ÷ 47 × 100 = 52%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/47, so part = 52 × 47 ÷ 100 = 24.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =52%*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.

What the result means

24.44 is the 52% share of 47. The remaining 48% is 22.56, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 52% off an item priced $47 saves $24.44, so you pay $22.56.

Adding and taking away 52%

Increasing 47 by 52% gives 71.44 and decreasing it by 52% gives 22.56. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 34.2912, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
