How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 43 = 3.44
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.44 ÷ 43 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/43, so part = 8 × 43 ÷ 100 = 3.44. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*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

3.44 is the 8% share of 43. The remaining 92% is 39.56, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $43 saves $3.44, so you pay $39.56.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 43 by 8% gives 46.44 and decreasing it by 8% gives 39.56. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 42.7248, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
