How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
  2. Multiply: 0.17 × 96 = 16.32
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.32 ÷ 96 × 100 = 17%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/96, so part = 17 × 96 ÷ 100 = 16.32. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =17%*96. 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

16.32 is the 17% share of 96. The remaining 83% is 79.68, and the two parts add back up to 96.

Discounts: 17% off an item priced $96 saves $16.32, so you pay $79.68.

Adding and taking away 17%

Increasing 96 by 17% gives 112.32 and decreasing it by 17% gives 79.68. These do not cancel out: raising 96 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 93.2256, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
