How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 40 ÷ 100 = 0.4
  2. Multiply: 0.4 × 11 = 4.4
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4.4 ÷ 11 × 100 = 40%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 40/100 = part/11, so part = 40 × 11 ÷ 100 = 4.4. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =40%*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

4.4 is the 40% share of 11. The remaining 60% is 6.6, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 40% off an item priced $11 saves $4.4, so you pay $6.6.

Adding and taking away 40%

Increasing 11 by 40% gives 15.4 and decreasing it by 40% gives 6.6. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 40% and then lowering the result by 40% ends at 9.24, because the second 40% is taken of a bigger number.
