How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 91 ÷ 100 = 0.91
  2. Multiply: 0.91 × 47 = 42.77
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.77 ÷ 47 × 100 = 91%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 91/100 = part/47, so part = 91 × 47 ÷ 100 = 42.77. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =91%*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

42.77 is the 91% share of 47. The remaining 9% is 4.23, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 91% off an item priced $47 saves $42.77, so you pay $4.23.

Adding and taking away 91%

Increasing 47 by 91% gives 89.77 and decreasing it by 91% gives 4.23. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 91% and then lowering the result by 91% ends at 8.0793, because the second 91% is taken of a bigger number.
