How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 47 ÷ 100 = 0.47
- Multiply: 0.47 × 11 = 5.17
- Check: Work backwards: 5.17 ÷ 11 × 100 = 47%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 47/100 = part/11, so part = 47 × 11 ÷ 100 = 5.17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =47%*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
5.17 is the 47% share of 11. The remaining 53% is 5.83, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Adding and taking away 47%
Increasing 11 by 47% gives 16.17 and decreasing it by 47% gives 5.83. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 47% and then lowering the result by 47% ends at 8.5701, because the second 47% is taken of a bigger number.
