How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 68 = 7.48
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.48 ÷ 68 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/68, so part = 11 × 68 ÷ 100 = 7.48. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*68. 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

7.48 is the 11% share of 68. The remaining 89% is 60.52, and the two parts add back up to 68.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $68 saves $7.48, so you pay $60.52.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 68 by 11% gives 75.48 and decreasing it by 11% gives 60.52. These do not cancel out: raising 68 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 67.1772, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
