How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 3 = 0.33
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.33 ÷ 3 × 100 = 11%.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*3. 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

0.33 is the 11% share of 3. The remaining 89% is 2.67, and the two parts add back up to 3.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $3 saves $0.33, so you pay $2.67.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 3 by 11% gives 3.33 and decreasing it by 11% gives 2.67. These do not cancel out: raising 3 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 2.9637, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
