How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 17 = 2.89
- Check: Work backwards: 2.89 ÷ 17 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/17, so part = 17 × 17 ÷ 100 = 2.89. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*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
2.89 is the 17% share of 17. The remaining 83% is 14.11, and the two parts add back up to 17.
Discounts: 17% off an item priced $17 saves $2.89, so you pay $14.11.
Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 17 by 17% gives 19.89 and decreasing it by 17% gives 14.11. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 16.5087, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
