How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
  2. Multiply: 0.29 × 43 = 12.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12.47 ÷ 43 × 100 = 29%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/43, so part = 29 × 43 ÷ 100 = 12.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =29%*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

12.47 is the 29% share of 43. The remaining 71% is 30.53, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 29% off an item priced $43 saves $12.47, so you pay $30.53.

Adding and taking away 29%

Increasing 43 by 29% gives 55.47 and decreasing it by 29% gives 30.53. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 39.3837, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
