How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
- Multiply: 0.11 × 79 = 8.69
- Check: Work backwards: 8.69 ÷ 79 × 100 = 11%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/79, so part = 11 × 79 ÷ 100 = 8.69. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =11%*79. 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

Adding and taking away 11%
Increasing 79 by 11% gives 87.69 and decreasing it by 11% gives 70.31. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 78.0441, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
