How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 81 = 8.91
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.91 ÷ 81 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/81, so part = 11 × 81 ÷ 100 = 8.91. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*81. 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

8.91 is the 11% share of 81. The remaining 89% is 72.09, and the two parts add back up to 81.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $81 saves $8.91, so you pay $72.09.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 81 by 11% gives 89.91 and decreasing it by 11% gives 72.09. These do not cancel out: raising 81 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 80.0199, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
