How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 26 ÷ 100 = 0.26
  2. Multiply: 0.26 × 11 = 2.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.86 ÷ 11 × 100 = 26%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 26/100 = part/11, so part = 26 × 11 ÷ 100 = 2.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =26%*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

2.86 is the 26% share of 11. The remaining 74% is 8.14, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 26% off an item priced $11 saves $2.86, so you pay $8.14.

Adding and taking away 26%

Increasing 11 by 26% gives 13.86 and decreasing it by 26% gives 8.14. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 26% and then lowering the result by 26% ends at 10.2564, because the second 26% is taken of a bigger number.
