How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 36 = 3.96
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.96 ÷ 36 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/36, so part = 11 × 36 ÷ 100 = 3.96. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*36. 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

3.96 is the 11% share of 36. The remaining 89% is 32.04, and the two parts add back up to 36.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $36 saves $3.96, so you pay $32.04.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 36 by 11% gives 39.96 and decreasing it by 11% gives 32.04. These do not cancel out: raising 36 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 35.5644, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
