How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 72 ÷ 100 = 0.72
  2. Multiply: 0.72 × 11 = 7.92
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.92 ÷ 11 × 100 = 72%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 72/100 = part/11, so part = 72 × 11 ÷ 100 = 7.92. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =72%*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

7.92 is the 72% share of 11. The remaining 28% is 3.08, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 72% off an item priced $11 saves $7.92, so you pay $3.08.

Adding and taking away 72%

Increasing 11 by 72% gives 18.92 and decreasing it by 72% gives 3.08. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 72% and then lowering the result by 72% ends at 5.2976, because the second 72% is taken of a bigger number.
