How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 80 = 13.6
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.6 ÷ 80 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/80, so part = 17 × 80 ÷ 100 = 13.6. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*80. 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

13.6 is the 17% share of 80. The remaining 83% is 66.4, and the two parts add back up to 80.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $80 saves $13.6, so you pay $66.4.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 80 by 17% gives 93.6 and decreasing it by 17% gives 66.4. These do not cancel out: raising 80 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 77.688, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
