How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
  2. Multiply: 0.58 × 47 = 27.26
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.26 ÷ 47 × 100 = 58%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/47, so part = 58 × 47 ÷ 100 = 27.26. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =58%*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

27.26 is the 58% share of 47. The remaining 42% is 19.74, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 58% off an item priced $47 saves $27.26, so you pay $19.74.

Adding and taking away 58%

Increasing 47 by 58% gives 74.26 and decreasing it by 58% gives 19.74. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 31.1892, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
