How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 87 ÷ 100 = 0.87
  2. Multiply: 0.87 × 11 = 9.57
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.57 ÷ 11 × 100 = 87%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 87/100 = part/11, so part = 87 × 11 ÷ 100 = 9.57. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =87%*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

9.57 is the 87% share of 11. The remaining 13% is 1.43, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 87% off an item priced $11 saves $9.57, so you pay $1.43.

Adding and taking away 87%

Increasing 11 by 87% gives 20.57 and decreasing it by 87% gives 1.43. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 87% and then lowering the result by 87% ends at 2.6741, because the second 87% is taken of a bigger number.
