How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
  2. Multiply: 0.83 × 43 = 35.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 35.69 ÷ 43 × 100 = 83%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/43, so part = 83 × 43 ÷ 100 = 35.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =83%*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

35.69 is the 83% share of 43. The remaining 17% is 7.31, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 83% off an item priced $43 saves $35.69, so you pay $7.31.

Adding and taking away 83%

Increasing 43 by 83% gives 78.69 and decreasing it by 83% gives 7.31. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 13.3773, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
