How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
  2. Multiply: 0.97 × 43 = 41.71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 41.71 ÷ 43 × 100 = 97%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/43, so part = 97 × 43 ÷ 100 = 41.71. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97%*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

41.71 is the 97% share of 43. The remaining 3% is 1.29, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 97% off an item priced $43 saves $41.71, so you pay $1.29.

Adding and taking away 97%

Increasing 43 by 97% gives 84.71 and decreasing it by 97% gives 1.29. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 2.5413, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
