How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16
  2. Multiply: 0.16 × 11 = 1.76
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.76 ÷ 11 × 100 = 16%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 16/100 = part/11, so part = 16 × 11 ÷ 100 = 1.76. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =16%*11. 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

1.76 is the 16% share of 11. The remaining 84% is 9.24, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 16% off an item priced $11 saves $1.76, so you pay $9.24.

Adding and taking away 16%

Increasing 11 by 16% gives 12.76 and decreasing it by 16% gives 9.24. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 16% and then lowering the result by 16% ends at 10.7184, because the second 16% is taken of a bigger number.
