How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 7 = 0.77
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.77 ÷ 7 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/7, so part = 11 × 7 ÷ 100 = 0.77. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*7. 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

0.77 is the 11% share of 7. The remaining 89% is 6.23, and the two parts add back up to 7.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $7 saves $0.77, so you pay $6.23.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 7 by 11% gives 7.77 and decreasing it by 11% gives 6.23. These do not cancel out: raising 7 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 6.9153, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
