How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
  2. Multiply: 0.11 × 87 = 9.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.57 ÷ 87 × 100 = 11%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/87, so part = 11 × 87 ÷ 100 = 9.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =11%*87. 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

9.57 is the 11% share of 87. The remaining 89% is 77.43, and the two parts add back up to 87.

Discounts: 11% off an item priced $87 saves $9.57, so you pay $77.43.

Adding and taking away 11%

Increasing 87 by 11% gives 96.57 and decreasing it by 11% gives 77.43. These do not cancel out: raising 87 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 85.9473, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
