How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 43 = 12.04
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.04 ÷ 43 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/43, so part = 28 × 43 ÷ 100 = 12.04. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*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

12.04 is the 28% share of 43. The remaining 72% is 30.96, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $43 saves $12.04, so you pay $30.96.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 43 by 28% gives 55.04 and decreasing it by 28% gives 30.96. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 39.6288, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
