How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 10 = 1.7
- Check: Work backwards: 1.7 ÷ 10 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/10, so part = 17 × 10 ÷ 100 = 1.7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*10. 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
1.7 is the 17% share of 10. The remaining 83% is 8.3, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 17% off an item priced $10 saves $1.7, so you pay $8.3.
Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 10 by 17% gives 11.7 and decreasing it by 17% gives 8.3. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 9.711, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
