How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 31 ÷ 100 = 0.31
  2. Multiply: 0.31 × 43 = 13.33
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.33 ÷ 43 × 100 = 31%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 31/100 = part/43, so part = 31 × 43 ÷ 100 = 13.33. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =31%*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

13.33 is the 31% share of 43. The remaining 69% is 29.67, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 31% off an item priced $43 saves $13.33, so you pay $29.67.

Adding and taking away 31%

Increasing 43 by 31% gives 56.33 and decreasing it by 31% gives 29.67. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 31% and then lowering the result by 31% ends at 38.8677, because the second 31% is taken of a bigger number.
