How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Multiply: 0.7 × 43 = 30.1
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30.1 ÷ 43 × 100 = 70%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/43, so part = 70 × 43 ÷ 100 = 30.1. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70%*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

30.1 is the 70% share of 43. The remaining 30% is 12.9, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 70% off an item priced $43 saves $30.1, so you pay $12.9.

Adding and taking away 70%

Increasing 43 by 70% gives 73.1 and decreasing it by 70% gives 12.9. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 21.93, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
