How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
- Multiply: 0.89 × 47 = 41.83
- Check: Work backwards: 41.83 ÷ 47 × 100 = 89%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/47, so part = 89 × 47 ÷ 100 = 41.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =89%*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.
