How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 29 ÷ 100 = 0.29
- Multiply: 0.29 × 17 = 4.93
- Check: Work backwards: 4.93 ÷ 17 × 100 = 29%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 29/100 = part/17, so part = 29 × 17 ÷ 100 = 4.93. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =29%*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

Adding and taking away 29%
Increasing 17 by 29% gives 21.93 and decreasing it by 29% gives 12.07. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 29% and then lowering the result by 29% ends at 15.5703, because the second 29% is taken of a bigger number.
