How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 74 = 8.14
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.14 ÷ 74 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/74, so part = 11 × 74 ÷ 100 = 8.14. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*74. 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

8.14 is the 11% share of 74. The remaining 89% is 65.86, and the two parts add back up to 74.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $74 saves $8.14, so you pay $65.86.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 74 by 11% gives 82.14 and decreasing it by 11% gives 65.86. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 73.1046, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
