How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 14 ÷ 100 = 0.14
  2. Multiply: 0.14 × 43 = 6.02
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.02 ÷ 43 × 100 = 14%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 14/100 = part/43, so part = 14 × 43 ÷ 100 = 6.02. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =14%*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

6.02 is the 14% share of 43. The remaining 86% is 36.98, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 14% off an item priced $43 saves $6.02, so you pay $36.98.

Adding and taking away 14%

Increasing 43 by 14% gives 49.02 and decreasing it by 14% gives 36.98. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 14% and then lowering the result by 14% ends at 42.1572, because the second 14% is taken of a bigger number.
