How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 52 = 22.36
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.36 ÷ 52 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/52, so part = 43 × 52 ÷ 100 = 22.36. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*52. 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

22.36 is the 43% share of 52. The remaining 57% is 29.64, and the two parts add back up to 52.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $52 saves $22.36, so you pay $29.64.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 52 by 43% gives 74.36 and decreasing it by 43% gives 29.64. These do not cancel out: raising 52 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 42.3852, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
