How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 23 = 9.89
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.89 ÷ 23 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/23, so part = 43 × 23 ÷ 100 = 9.89. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*23. 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

9.89 is the 43% share of 23. The remaining 57% is 13.11, and the two parts add back up to 23.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $23 saves $9.89, so you pay $13.11.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 23 by 43% gives 32.89 and decreasing it by 43% gives 13.11. These do not cancel out: raising 23 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 18.7473, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
