How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 88 ÷ 100 = 0.88
  2. Multiply: 0.88 × 43 = 37.84
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.84 ÷ 43 × 100 = 88%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 88/100 = part/43, so part = 88 × 43 ÷ 100 = 37.84. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =88%*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

37.84 is the 88% share of 43. The remaining 12% is 5.16, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 88% off an item priced $43 saves $37.84, so you pay $5.16.

Adding and taking away 88%

Increasing 43 by 88% gives 80.84 and decreasing it by 88% gives 5.16. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 88% and then lowering the result by 88% ends at 9.7008, because the second 88% is taken of a bigger number.
