How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11
- Multiply: 0.11 × 17 = 1.87
- Check: Work backwards: 1.87 ÷ 17 × 100 = 11%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 11/100 = part/17, so part = 11 × 17 ÷ 100 = 1.87. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =11%*17. 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
1.87 is the 11% share of 17. The remaining 89% is 15.13, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 11%
Increasing 17 by 11% gives 18.87 and decreasing it by 11% gives 15.13. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 11% and then lowering the result by 11% ends at 16.7943, because the second 11% is taken of a bigger number.
