How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 89 ÷ 100 = 0.89
- Multiply: 0.89 × 15 = 13.35
- Check: Work backwards: 13.35 ÷ 15 × 100 = 89%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 89/100 = part/15, so part = 89 × 15 ÷ 100 = 13.35. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =89%*15. 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
13.35 is the 89% share of 15. The remaining 11% is 1.65, and the two parts add back up to 15.

Adding and taking away 89%
Increasing 15 by 89% gives 28.35 and decreasing it by 89% gives 1.65. These do not cancel out: raising 15 by 89% and then lowering the result by 89% ends at 3.1185, because the second 89% is taken of a bigger number.
