How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 32 ÷ 100 = 0.32
- Multiply: 0.32 × 17 = 5.44
- Check: Work backwards: 5.44 ÷ 17 × 100 = 32%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 32/100 = part/17, so part = 32 × 17 ÷ 100 = 5.44. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =32%*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 32%
Increasing 17 by 32% gives 22.44 and decreasing it by 32% gives 11.56. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 32% and then lowering the result by 32% ends at 15.2592, because the second 32% is taken of a bigger number.
