How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
  2. Multiply: 0.47 × 43 = 20.21
  3. Check: Work backwards: 20.21 ÷ 43 × 100 = 47%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/43, so part = 47 × 43 ÷ 100 = 20.21. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =47%*43. 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

20.21 is the 47% share of 43. The remaining 53% is 22.79, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 47% off an item priced $43 saves $20.21, so you pay $22.79.

Adding and taking away 47%

Increasing 43 by 47% gives 63.21 and decreasing it by 47% gives 22.79. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 33.5013, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
