How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 11 = 1.87
  3. Check: Work backwards: 1.87 ÷ 11 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/11, so part = 17 × 11 ÷ 100 = 1.87. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*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

1.87 is the 17% share of 11. The remaining 83% is 9.13, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $11 saves $1.87, so you pay $9.13.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 11 by 17% gives 12.87 and decreasing it by 17% gives 9.13. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 10.6821, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
