How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 36 = 15.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.48 ÷ 36 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/36, so part = 43 × 36 ÷ 100 = 15.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*36. 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

15.48 is the 43% share of 36. The remaining 57% is 20.52, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $36 saves $15.48, so you pay $20.52.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 36 by 43% gives 51.48 and decreasing it by 43% gives 20.52. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 29.3436, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
