How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 61 ÷ 100 = 0.61
- Multiply: 0.61 × 47 = 28.67
- Check: Work backwards: 28.67 ÷ 47 × 100 = 61%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 61/100 = part/47, so part = 61 × 47 ÷ 100 = 28.67. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =61%*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 61%
Increasing 47 by 61% gives 75.67 and decreasing it by 61% gives 18.33. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 61% and then lowering the result by 61% ends at 29.5113, because the second 61% is taken of a bigger number.
