How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
  2. Multiply: 0.36 × 43 = 15.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.48 ÷ 43 × 100 = 36%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/43, so part = 36 × 43 ÷ 100 = 15.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =36%*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

15.48 is the 36% share of 43. The remaining 64% is 27.52, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 36% off an item priced $43 saves $15.48, so you pay $27.52.

Adding and taking away 36%

Increasing 43 by 36% gives 58.48 and decreasing it by 36% gives 27.52. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 37.4272, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
