How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 3 ÷ 100 = 0.03
  2. Multiply: 0.03 × 11 = 0.33
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.33 ÷ 11 × 100 = 3%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 3/100 = part/11, so part = 3 × 11 ÷ 100 = 0.33. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =3%*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

0.33 is the 3% share of 11. The remaining 97% is 10.67, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 3% off an item priced $11 saves $0.33, so you pay $10.67.

Adding and taking away 3%

Increasing 11 by 3% gives 11.33 and decreasing it by 3% gives 10.67. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 3% and then lowering the result by 3% ends at 10.9901, because the second 3% is taken of a bigger number.
