How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 55 ÷ 100 = 0.55
  2. Multiply: 0.55 × 11 = 6.05
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.05 ÷ 11 × 100 = 55%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 55/100 = part/11, so part = 55 × 11 ÷ 100 = 6.05. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =55%*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

6.05 is the 55% share of 11. The remaining 45% is 4.95, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 55% off an item priced $11 saves $6.05, so you pay $4.95.

Adding and taking away 55%

Increasing 11 by 55% gives 17.05 and decreasing it by 55% gives 4.95. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 55% and then lowering the result by 55% ends at 7.6725, because the second 55% is taken of a bigger number.
