How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 23 ÷ 100 = 0.23
  2. Multiply: 0.23 × 43 = 9.89
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.89 ÷ 43 × 100 = 23%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 23/100 = part/43, so part = 23 × 43 ÷ 100 = 9.89. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =23%*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

9.89 is the 23% share of 43. The remaining 77% is 33.11, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 23% off an item priced $43 saves $9.89, so you pay $33.11.

Adding and taking away 23%

Increasing 43 by 23% gives 52.89 and decreasing it by 23% gives 33.11. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 23% and then lowering the result by 23% ends at 40.7253, because the second 23% is taken of a bigger number.
