How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 47 = 46.53
- Check: Work backwards: 46.53 ÷ 47 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/47, so part = 99 × 47 ÷ 100 = 46.53. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
46.53 is the 99% share of 47. The remaining 1% is 0.47, and the two parts add back up to 47.

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 47 by 99% gives 93.53 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.47. These do not cancel out: raising 47 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.9353, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
