How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 34 ÷ 100 = 0.34
- Multiply: 0.34 × 17 = 5.78
- Check: Work backwards: 5.78 ÷ 17 × 100 = 34%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 34/100 = part/17, so part = 34 × 17 ÷ 100 = 5.78. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =34%*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 34%
Increasing 17 by 34% gives 22.78 and decreasing it by 34% gives 11.22. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 34% and then lowering the result by 34% ends at 15.0348, because the second 34% is taken of a bigger number.
