How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 47 = 45.59
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45.59 ÷ 47 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/47, so part = 97 × 47 ÷ 100 = 45.59. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

45.59 is the 97% share of 47. The remaining 3% is 1.41, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $47 saves $45.59, so you pay $1.41.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 47 by 97% gives 92.59 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.41. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.7777, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
