How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 51 = 5.61
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.61 ÷ 51 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/51, so part = 11 × 51 ÷ 100 = 5.61. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*51. 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

5.61 is the 11% share of 51. The remaining 89% is 45.39, and the two parts add back up to 51.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $51 saves $5.61, so you pay $45.39.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 51 by 11% gives 56.61 and decreasing it by 11% gives 45.39. These do not cancel out: raising 51 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 50.3829, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
