How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 93 = 15.81
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15.81 ÷ 93 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/93, so part = 17 × 93 ÷ 100 = 15.81. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*93. 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

15.81 is the 17% share of 93. The remaining 83% is 77.19, and the two parts add back up to 93.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $93 saves $15.81, so you pay $77.19.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 93 by 17% gives 108.81 and decreasing it by 17% gives 77.19. These do not cancel out: raising 93 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 90.3123, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
