How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
  2. Multiply: 0.73 × 43 = 31.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.39 ÷ 43 × 100 = 73%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/43, so part = 73 × 43 ÷ 100 = 31.39. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =73%*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

31.39 is the 73% share of 43. The remaining 27% is 11.61, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 73% off an item priced $43 saves $31.39, so you pay $11.61.

Adding and taking away 73%

Increasing 43 by 73% gives 74.39 and decreasing it by 73% gives 11.61. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 20.0853, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
