How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 47 = 38.54
- Check: Work backwards: 38.54 ÷ 47 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/47, so part = 82 × 47 ÷ 100 = 38.54. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*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.

Adding and taking away 82%
Increasing 47 by 82% gives 85.54 and decreasing it by 82% gives 8.46. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 15.3972, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
