How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
- Multiply: 0.55 × 47 = 25.85
- Check: Work backwards: 25.85 ÷ 47 × 100 = 55%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/47, so part = 55 × 47 ÷ 100 = 25.85. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =55%*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.

Adding and taking away 55%
Increasing 47 by 55% gives 72.85 and decreasing it by 55% gives 21.15. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 32.7825, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
