How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 83 = 35.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.69 ÷ 83 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/83, so part = 43 × 83 ÷ 100 = 35.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*83. 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

35.69 is the 43% share of 83. The remaining 57% is 47.31, and the two parts add back up to 83.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $83 saves $35.69, so you pay $47.31.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 83 by 43% gives 118.69 and decreasing it by 43% gives 47.31. These do not cancel out: raising 83 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 67.6533, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
