How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 17 ÷ 100 = 0.17
- Multiply: 0.17 × 99 = 16.83
- Check: Work backwards: 16.83 ÷ 99 × 100 = 17%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 17/100 = part/99, so part = 17 × 99 ÷ 100 = 16.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =17%*99. 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

Adding and taking away 17%
Increasing 99 by 17% gives 115.83 and decreasing it by 17% gives 82.17. These do not cancel out: raising 99 by 17% and then lowering the result by 17% ends at 96.1389, because the second 17% is taken of a bigger number.
