How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 43 = 4.73
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.73 ÷ 43 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/43, so part = 11 × 43 ÷ 100 = 4.73. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*43. 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

4.73 is the 11% share of 43. The remaining 89% is 38.27, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $43 saves $4.73, so you pay $38.27.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 43 by 11% gives 47.73 and decreasing it by 11% gives 38.27. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 42.4797, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
