How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
  2. Multiply: 0.13 × 43 = 5.59
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.59 ÷ 43 × 100 = 13%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/43, so part = 13 × 43 ÷ 100 = 5.59. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =13%*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

5.59 is the 13% share of 43. The remaining 87% is 37.41, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 13% off an item priced $43 saves $5.59, so you pay $37.41.

Adding and taking away 13%

Increasing 43 by 13% gives 48.59 and decreasing it by 13% gives 37.41. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 42.2733, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
