How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 57 = 9.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.69 ÷ 57 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/57, so part = 17 × 57 ÷ 100 = 9.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*57. 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

9.69 is the 17% share of 57. The remaining 83% is 47.31, and the two parts add back up to 57.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $57 saves $9.69, so you pay $47.31.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 57 by 17% gives 66.69 and decreasing it by 17% gives 47.31. These do not cancel out: raising 57 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 55.3527, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
