How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 63 = 10.71
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.71 ÷ 63 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/63, so part = 17 × 63 ÷ 100 = 10.71. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*63. 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

10.71 is the 17% share of 63. The remaining 83% is 52.29, and the two parts add back up to 63.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $63 saves $10.71, so you pay $52.29.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 63 by 17% gives 73.71 and decreasing it by 17% gives 52.29. These do not cancel out: raising 63 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 61.1793, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
