How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 75 = 8.25
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.25 ÷ 75 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/75, so part = 11 × 75 ÷ 100 = 8.25. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*75. 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

8.25 is the 11% share of 75. The remaining 89% is 66.75, and the two parts add back up to 75.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $75 saves $8.25, so you pay $66.75.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 75 by 11% gives 83.25 and decreasing it by 11% gives 66.75. These do not cancel out: raising 75 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 74.0925, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
