How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 59 = 10.03
- Check: Work backwards: 10.03 ÷ 59 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/59, so part = 17 × 59 ÷ 100 = 10.03. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*59. 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
10.03 is the 17% share of 59. The remaining 83% is 48.97, and the two parts add back up to 59.

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 59 by 17% gives 69.03 and decreasing it by 17% gives 48.97. These do not cancel out: raising 59 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 57.2949, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
