How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 16 = 1.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.76 ÷ 16 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/16, so part = 11 × 16 ÷ 100 = 1.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*16. 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

1.76 is the 11% share of 16. The remaining 89% is 14.24, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $16 saves $1.76, so you pay $14.24.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 16 by 11% gives 17.76 and decreasing it by 11% gives 14.24. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 15.8064, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
