How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
  2. Multiply: 0.38 × 11 = 4.18
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.18 ÷ 11 × 100 = 38%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/11, so part = 38 × 11 ÷ 100 = 4.18. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =38%*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

4.18 is the 38% share of 11. The remaining 62% is 6.82, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 38% off an item priced $11 saves $4.18, so you pay $6.82.

Adding and taking away 38%

Increasing 11 by 38% gives 15.18 and decreasing it by 38% gives 6.82. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 9.4116, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
