How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 47 = 31.96
- Check: Work backwards: 31.96 ÷ 47 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/47, so part = 68 × 47 ÷ 100 = 31.96. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*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 68%
Increasing 47 by 68% gives 78.96 and decreasing it by 68% gives 15.04. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 25.2672, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
