How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
- Multiply: 0.11 × 15 = 1.65
- Check: Work backwards: 1.65 ÷ 15 × 100 = 11%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/15, so part = 11 × 15 ÷ 100 = 1.65. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =11%*15. 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
1.65 is the 11% share of 15. The remaining 89% is 13.35, and the two parts add back up to 15.
Discounts: 11% off an item priced $15 saves $1.65, so you pay $13.35.
Adding and taking away 11%
Increasing 15 by 11% gives 16.65 and decreasing it by 11% gives 13.35. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 14.8185, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
