Given the values:

47 - 4%

Solution:

We cannot solve the two numbers since the other one is stated in percentage form, while the other number is a whole number. In order to solve the given values, we need to take 4% of 47. To do so, we need to convert the percentage into decimal and multiply it by 47. Their product will be subtracted then to 47. 

In converting a  percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.

= 0.4 /100

= 0.04

= (0.04)(47)

= 1.88

Subtract the product to 47.

= 47 - 188

= 45.12

Final Answer: 45.12
