How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
  2. Multiply: 0.99 × 43 = 42.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 42.57 ÷ 43 × 100 = 99%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/43, so part = 99 × 43 ÷ 100 = 42.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =99%*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

42.57 is the 99% share of 43. The remaining 1% is 0.43, and the two parts add back up to 43.

Discounts: 99% off an item priced $43 saves $42.57, so you pay $0.43.

Adding and taking away 99%

Increasing 43 by 99% gives 85.57 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.43. These do not cancel out: raising 43 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.8557, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
