How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
  2. Multiply: 0.84 × 47 = 39.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 39.48 ÷ 47 × 100 = 84%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/47, so part = 84 × 47 ÷ 100 = 39.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =84%*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

39.48 is the 84% share of 47. The remaining 16% is 7.52, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 84% off an item priced $47 saves $39.48, so you pay $7.52.

Adding and taking away 84%

Increasing 47 by 84% gives 86.48 and decreasing it by 84% gives 7.52. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 13.8368, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
