How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 79 = 13.43
- Check: Work backwards: 13.43 ÷ 79 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/79, so part = 17 × 79 ÷ 100 = 13.43. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*79. 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 79 by 17% gives 92.43 and decreasing it by 17% gives 65.57. These do not cancel out: raising 79 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 76.7169, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
