How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 44 = 7.48
- Check: Work backwards: 7.48 ÷ 44 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/44, so part = 17 × 44 ÷ 100 = 7.48. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*44. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 44 by 17% gives 51.48 and decreasing it by 17% gives 36.52. These do not cancel out: raising 44 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 42.7284, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
