This is how you would set it up

 42         47
-----       -----
100         x
Then, cross multiply. You should get this:
42x = 4700

Then, solve that problem
42x = 4700
-----    -------
42         42

x = 111 < (the answer turns out as a decimal but you should take the whole number)

Then subtract 111 and 100
111 - 100 = 11

Answer - 11%

Hope this helps!
