How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 49 = 21.07
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.07 ÷ 49 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/49, so part = 43 × 49 ÷ 100 = 21.07. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*49. 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

21.07 is the 43% share of 49. The remaining 57% is 27.93, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $49 saves $21.07, so you pay $27.93.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 49 by 43% gives 70.07 and decreasing it by 43% gives 27.93. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 39.9399, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
