How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 62 ÷ 100 = 0.62
  2. Multiply: 0.62 × 43 = 26.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26.66 ÷ 43 × 100 = 62%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 62/100 = part/43, so part = 62 × 43 ÷ 100 = 26.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =62%*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

26.66 is the 62% share of 43. The remaining 38% is 16.34, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 62% off an item priced $43 saves $26.66, so you pay $16.34.

Adding and taking away 62%

Increasing 43 by 62% gives 69.66 and decreasing it by 62% gives 16.34. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 62% and then lowering the result by 62% ends at 26.4708, because the second 62% is taken of a bigger number.
