How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
  2. Multiply: 0.43 × 84 = 36.12
  3. Check: Work backwards: 36.12 ÷ 84 × 100 = 43%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/84, so part = 43 × 84 ÷ 100 = 36.12. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =43%*84. 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

36.12 is the 43% share of 84. The remaining 57% is 47.88, and the two parts add back up to 84.

Discounts: 43% off an item priced $84 saves $36.12, so you pay $47.88.

Adding and taking away 43%

Increasing 84 by 43% gives 120.12 and decreasing it by 43% gives 47.88. These do not cancel out: raising 84 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 68.4684, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
