How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 58 = 9.86
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.86 ÷ 58 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/58, so part = 17 × 58 ÷ 100 = 9.86. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*58. 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

9.86 is the 17% share of 58. The remaining 83% is 48.14, and the two parts add back up to 58.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $58 saves $9.86, so you pay $48.14.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 58 by 17% gives 67.86 and decreasing it by 17% gives 48.14. These do not cancel out: raising 58 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 56.3238, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
