How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 37 ÷ 100 = 0.37
  2. Multiply: 0.37 × 43 = 15.91
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.91 ÷ 43 × 100 = 37%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 37/100 = part/43, so part = 37 × 43 ÷ 100 = 15.91. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =37%*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

15.91 is the 37% share of 43. The remaining 63% is 27.09, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 37% off an item priced $43 saves $15.91, so you pay $27.09.

Adding and taking away 37%

Increasing 43 by 37% gives 58.91 and decreasing it by 37% gives 27.09. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 37% and then lowering the result by 37% ends at 37.1133, because the second 37% is taken of a bigger number.
