How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 27 = 11.61
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.61 ÷ 27 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/27, so part = 43 × 27 ÷ 100 = 11.61. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*27. 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

11.61 is the 43% share of 27. The remaining 57% is 15.39, and the two parts add back up to 27.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $27 saves $11.61, so you pay $15.39.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 27 by 43% gives 38.61 and decreasing it by 43% gives 15.39. These do not cancel out: raising 27 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 22.0077, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
