How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 98 ÷ 100 = 0.98
  2. Multiply: 0.98 × 11 = 10.78
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.78 ÷ 11 × 100 = 98%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 98/100 = part/11, so part = 98 × 11 ÷ 100 = 10.78. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =98%*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

10.78 is the 98% share of 11. The remaining 2% is 0.22, and the two parts add back up to 11.

Discounts: 98% off an item priced $11 saves $10.78, so you pay $0.22.

Adding and taking away 98%

Increasing 11 by 98% gives 21.78 and decreasing it by 98% gives 0.22. These do not cancel out: raising 11 by 98% and then lowering the result by 98% ends at 0.4356, because the second 98% is taken of a bigger number.
