How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 47 = 4.23
- Check: Work backwards: 4.23 ÷ 47 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/47, so part = 9 × 47 ÷ 100 = 4.23. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*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
4.23 is the 9% share of 47. The remaining 91% is 42.77, and the two parts add back up to 47.
Discounts: 9% off an item priced $47 saves $4.23, so you pay $42.77.
Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 47 by 9% gives 51.23 and decreasing it by 9% gives 42.77. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 46.6193, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
