How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 12 = 1.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.32 ÷ 12 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/12, so part = 11 × 12 ÷ 100 = 1.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*12. 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

1.32 is the 11% share of 12. The remaining 89% is 10.68, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $12 saves $1.32, so you pay $10.68.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 12 by 11% gives 13.32 and decreasing it by 11% gives 10.68. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 11.8548, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
