How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
- Multiply: 0.43 × 20 = 8.6
- Check: Work backwards: 8.6 ÷ 20 × 100 = 43%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/20, so part = 43 × 20 ÷ 100 = 8.6. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =43%*20. 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
8.6 is the 43% share of 20. The remaining 57% is 11.4, and the two parts add back up to 20.
Discounts: 43% off an item priced $20 saves $8.6, so you pay $11.4.
Adding and taking away 43%
Increasing 20 by 43% gives 28.6 and decreasing it by 43% gives 11.4. These do not cancel out: raising 20 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 16.302, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
