How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 70 = 30.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.1 ÷ 70 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/70, so part = 43 × 70 ÷ 100 = 30.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*70. 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

30.1 is the 43% share of 70. The remaining 57% is 39.9, and the two parts add back up to 70.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $70 saves $30.1, so you pay $39.9.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 70 by 43% gives 100.1 and decreasing it by 43% gives 39.9. These do not cancel out: raising 70 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 57.057, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
