How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 18 ÷ 100 = 0.18
- Multiply: 0.18 × 17 = 3.06
- Check: Work backwards: 3.06 ÷ 17 × 100 = 18%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 18/100 = part/17, so part = 18 × 17 ÷ 100 = 3.06. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =18%*17. 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
3.06 is the 18% share of 17. The remaining 82% is 13.94, and the two parts add back up to 17.
Discounts: 18% off an item priced $17 saves $3.06, so you pay $13.94.
Adding and taking away 18%
Increasing 17 by 18% gives 20.06 and decreasing it by 18% gives 13.94. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 18% and then lowering the result by 18% ends at 16.4492, because the second 18% is taken of a bigger number.
