How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 7 = 3.01
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.01 ÷ 7 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/7, so part = 43 × 7 ÷ 100 = 3.01. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*7. 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

3.01 is the 43% share of 7. The remaining 57% is 3.99, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $7 saves $3.01, so you pay $3.99.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 7 by 43% gives 10.01 and decreasing it by 43% gives 3.99. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 5.7057, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
