How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 74 = 31.82
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.82 ÷ 74 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/74, so part = 43 × 74 ÷ 100 = 31.82. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*74. 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

31.82 is the 43% share of 74. The remaining 57% is 42.18, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $74 saves $31.82, so you pay $42.18.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 74 by 43% gives 105.82 and decreasing it by 43% gives 42.18. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 60.3174, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
