How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 54 ÷ 100 = 0.54
- Multiply: 0.54 × 47 = 25.38
- Check: Work backwards: 25.38 ÷ 47 × 100 = 54%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 54/100 = part/47, so part = 54 × 47 ÷ 100 = 25.38. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =54%*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

Adding and taking away 54%
Increasing 47 by 54% gives 72.38 and decreasing it by 54% gives 21.62. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 54% and then lowering the result by 54% ends at 33.2948, because the second 54% is taken of a bigger number.
