How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 27 ÷ 100 = 0.27
  2. Multiply: 0.27 × 11 = 2.97
  3. Check: Work backwards: 2.97 ÷ 11 × 100 = 27%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 27/100 = part/11, so part = 27 × 11 ÷ 100 = 2.97. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =27%*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

2.97 is the 27% share of 11. The remaining 73% is 8.03, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 27% off an item priced $11 saves $2.97, so you pay $8.03.

Adding and taking away 27%

Increasing 11 by 27% gives 13.97 and decreasing it by 27% gives 8.03. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 27% and then lowering the result by 27% ends at 10.1981, because the second 27% is taken of a bigger number.
