How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 67 ÷ 100 = 0.67
  2. Multiply: 0.67 × 47 = 31.49
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.49 ÷ 47 × 100 = 67%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 67/100 = part/47, so part = 67 × 47 ÷ 100 = 31.49. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =67%*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

31.49 is the 67% share of 47. The remaining 33% is 15.51, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 67% off an item priced $47 saves $31.49, so you pay $15.51.

Adding and taking away 67%

Increasing 47 by 67% gives 78.49 and decreasing it by 67% gives 15.51. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 67% and then lowering the result by 67% ends at 25.9017, because the second 67% is taken of a bigger number.
