How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 65 = 11.05
- Check: Work backwards: 11.05 ÷ 65 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/65, so part = 17 × 65 ÷ 100 = 11.05. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*65. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 65 by 17% gives 76.05 and decreasing it by 17% gives 53.95. These do not cancel out: raising 65 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 63.1215, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
