How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 81 = 13.77
- Check: Work backwards: 13.77 ÷ 81 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/81, so part = 17 × 81 ÷ 100 = 13.77. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*81. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
