How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08
  2. Multiply: 0.08 × 11 = 0.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 0.88 ÷ 11 × 100 = 8%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 8/100 = part/11, so part = 8 × 11 ÷ 100 = 0.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =8%*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

0.88 is the 8% share of 11. The remaining 92% is 10.12, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 8% off an item priced $11 saves $0.88, so you pay $10.12.

Adding and taking away 8%

Increasing 11 by 8% gives 11.88 and decreasing it by 8% gives 10.12. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 8% and then lowering the result by 8% ends at 10.9296, because the second 8% is taken of a bigger number.
