How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 97 = 16.49
- Check: Work backwards: 16.49 ÷ 97 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/97, so part = 17 × 97 ÷ 100 = 16.49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*97. 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
16.49 is the 17% share of 97. The remaining 83% is 80.51, and the two parts add back up to 97.

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 97 by 17% gives 113.49 and decreasing it by 17% gives 80.51. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 94.1967, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
