How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 42 ÷ 100 = 0.42
- Multiply: 0.42 × 43 = 18.06
- Check: Work backwards: 18.06 ÷ 43 × 100 = 42%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 42/100 = part/43, so part = 42 × 43 ÷ 100 = 18.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =42%*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
18.06 is the 42% share of 43. The remaining 58% is 24.94, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Adding and taking away 42%
Increasing 43 by 42% gives 61.06 and decreasing it by 42% gives 24.94. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 42% and then lowering the result by 42% ends at 35.4148, because the second 42% is taken of a bigger number.
