How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 91 = 15.47
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.47 ÷ 91 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/91, so part = 17 × 91 ÷ 100 = 15.47. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*91. 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

15.47 is the 17% share of 91. The remaining 83% is 75.53, and the two parts add back up to 91.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $91 saves $15.47, so you pay $75.53.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 91 by 17% gives 106.47 and decreasing it by 17% gives 75.53. These do not cancel out: raising 91 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 88.3701, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
