How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 38 = 16.34
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.34 ÷ 38 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/38, so part = 43 × 38 ÷ 100 = 16.34. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*38. 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

16.34 is the 43% share of 38. The remaining 57% is 21.66, and the two parts add back up to 38.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $38 saves $16.34, so you pay $21.66.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 38 by 43% gives 54.34 and decreasing it by 43% gives 21.66. These do not cancel out: raising 38 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 30.9738, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
