How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 44 ÷ 100 = 0.44
- Multiply: 0.44 × 12 = 5.28
- Check: Work backwards: 5.28 ÷ 12 × 100 = 44%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 44/100 = part/12, so part = 44 × 12 ÷ 100 = 5.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =44%*12. 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
5.28 is the 44% share of 12. The remaining 56% is 6.72, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Adding and taking away 44%
Increasing 12 by 44% gives 17.28 and decreasing it by 44% gives 6.72. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 44% and then lowering the result by 44% ends at 9.6768, because the second 44% is taken of a bigger number.
