How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 13 ÷ 100 = 0.13
- Multiply: 0.13 × 85 = 11.05
- Check: Work backwards: 11.05 ÷ 85 × 100 = 13%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 13/100 = part/85, so part = 13 × 85 ÷ 100 = 11.05. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =13%*85. 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
11.05 is the 13% share of 85. The remaining 87% is 73.95, and the two parts add back up to 85.

Adding and taking away 13%
Increasing 85 by 13% gives 96.05 and decreasing it by 13% gives 73.95. These do not cancel out: raising 85 by 13% and then lowering the result by 13% ends at 83.5635, because the second 13% is taken of a bigger number.
