How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 46 = 5.06
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.06 ÷ 46 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/46, so part = 11 × 46 ÷ 100 = 5.06. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*46. 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

5.06 is the 11% share of 46. The remaining 89% is 40.94, and the two parts add back up to 46.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $46 saves $5.06, so you pay $40.94.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 46 by 11% gives 51.06 and decreasing it by 11% gives 40.94. These do not cancel out: raising 46 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 45.4434, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
