How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 22 ÷ 100 = 0.22
  2. Multiply: 0.22 × 43 = 9.46
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.46 ÷ 43 × 100 = 22%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 22/100 = part/43, so part = 22 × 43 ÷ 100 = 9.46. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =22%*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

9.46 is the 22% share of 43. The remaining 78% is 33.54, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 22% off an item priced $43 saves $9.46, so you pay $33.54.

Adding and taking away 22%

Increasing 43 by 22% gives 52.46 and decreasing it by 22% gives 33.54. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 22% and then lowering the result by 22% ends at 40.9188, because the second 22% is taken of a bigger number.
