How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
- Multiply: 0.98 × 47 = 46.06
- Check: Work backwards: 46.06 ÷ 47 × 100 = 98%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/47, so part = 98 × 47 ÷ 100 = 46.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =98%*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
