How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 77 ÷ 100 = 0.77
- Multiply: 0.77 × 47 = 36.19
- Check: Work backwards: 36.19 ÷ 47 × 100 = 77%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 77/100 = part/47, so part = 77 × 47 ÷ 100 = 36.19. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =77%*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.
