How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 35 = 5.95
- Check: Work backwards: 5.95 ÷ 35 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/35, so part = 17 × 35 ÷ 100 = 5.95. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*35. 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
5.95 is the 17% share of 35. The remaining 83% is 29.05, and the two parts add back up to 35.

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 35 by 17% gives 40.95 and decreasing it by 17% gives 29.05. These do not cancel out: raising 35 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 33.9885, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
