How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 6 ÷ 100 = 0.06
  2. Multiply: 0.06 × 11 = 0.66
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.66 ÷ 11 × 100 = 6%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/100 = part/11, so part = 6 × 11 ÷ 100 = 0.66. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6%*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

0.66 is the 6% share of 11. The remaining 94% is 10.34, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 6% off an item priced $11 saves $0.66, so you pay $10.34.

Adding and taking away 6%

Increasing 11 by 6% gives 11.66 and decreasing it by 6% gives 10.34. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 6% and then lowering the result by 6% ends at 10.9604, because the second 6% is taken of a bigger number.
