How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 63 ÷ 100 = 0.63
  2. Multiply: 0.63 × 47 = 29.61
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29.61 ÷ 47 × 100 = 63%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 63/100 = part/47, so part = 63 × 47 ÷ 100 = 29.61. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =63%*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

29.61 is the 63% share of 47. The remaining 37% is 17.39, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 63% off an item priced $47 saves $29.61, so you pay $17.39.

Adding and taking away 63%

Increasing 47 by 63% gives 76.61 and decreasing it by 63% gives 17.39. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 63% and then lowering the result by 63% ends at 28.3457, because the second 63% is taken of a bigger number.
