How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48
  2. Multiply: 0.48 × 11 = 5.28
  3. Check: Work backwards: 5.28 ÷ 11 × 100 = 48%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/100 = part/11, so part = 48 × 11 ÷ 100 = 5.28. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48%*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

5.28 is the 48% share of 11. The remaining 52% is 5.72, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 48% off an item priced $11 saves $5.28, so you pay $5.72.

Adding and taking away 48%

Increasing 11 by 48% gives 16.28 and decreasing it by 48% gives 5.72. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 48% and then lowering the result by 48% ends at 8.4656, because the second 48% is taken of a bigger number.
