How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 49 = 5.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.39 ÷ 49 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/49, so part = 11 × 49 ÷ 100 = 5.39. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*49. 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

5.39 is the 11% share of 49. The remaining 89% is 43.61, and the two parts add back up to 49.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $49 saves $5.39, so you pay $43.61.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 49 by 11% gives 54.39 and decreasing it by 11% gives 43.61. These do not cancel out: raising 49 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 48.4071, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
