How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 28 ÷ 100 = 0.28
  2. Multiply: 0.28 × 11 = 3.08
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.08 ÷ 11 × 100 = 28%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 28/100 = part/11, so part = 28 × 11 ÷ 100 = 3.08. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =28%*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

3.08 is the 28% share of 11. The remaining 72% is 7.92, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 28% off an item priced $11 saves $3.08, so you pay $7.92.

Adding and taking away 28%

Increasing 11 by 28% gives 14.08 and decreasing it by 28% gives 7.92. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 28% and then lowering the result by 28% ends at 10.1376, because the second 28% is taken of a bigger number.
