How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
  2. Multiply: 0.51 × 43 = 21.93
  3. Check: Work backwards: 21.93 ÷ 43 × 100 = 51%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/43, so part = 51 × 43 ÷ 100 = 21.93. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =51%*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

21.93 is the 51% share of 43. The remaining 49% is 21.07, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 51% off an item priced $43 saves $21.93, so you pay $21.07.

Adding and taking away 51%

Increasing 43 by 51% gives 64.93 and decreasing it by 51% gives 21.07. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 31.8157, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
