How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
  2. Multiply: 0.87 × 43 = 37.41
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.41 ÷ 43 × 100 = 87%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/43, so part = 87 × 43 ÷ 100 = 37.41. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87%*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

37.41 is the 87% share of 43. The remaining 13% is 5.59, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 87% off an item priced $43 saves $37.41, so you pay $5.59.

Adding and taking away 87%

Increasing 43 by 87% gives 80.41 and decreasing it by 87% gives 5.59. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 10.4533, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
