How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 79 ÷ 100 = 0.79
  2. Multiply: 0.79 × 11 = 8.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8.69 ÷ 11 × 100 = 79%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 79/100 = part/11, so part = 79 × 11 ÷ 100 = 8.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =79%*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

8.69 is the 79% share of 11. The remaining 21% is 2.31, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 79% off an item priced $11 saves $8.69, so you pay $2.31.

Adding and taking away 79%

Increasing 11 by 79% gives 19.69 and decreasing it by 79% gives 2.31. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 79% and then lowering the result by 79% ends at 4.1349, because the second 79% is taken of a bigger number.
