How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 54 = 9.18
- Check: Work backwards: 9.18 ÷ 54 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/54, so part = 17 × 54 ÷ 100 = 9.18. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*54. 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

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 54 by 17% gives 63.18 and decreasing it by 17% gives 44.82. These do not cancel out: raising 54 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 52.4394, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
