How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 36 ÷ 100 = 0.36
- Multiply: 0.36 × 17 = 6.12
- Check: Work backwards: 6.12 ÷ 17 × 100 = 36%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 36/100 = part/17, so part = 36 × 17 ÷ 100 = 6.12. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =36%*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
6.12 is the 36% share of 17. The remaining 64% is 10.88, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 36%
Increasing 17 by 36% gives 23.12 and decreasing it by 36% gives 10.88. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 36% and then lowering the result by 36% ends at 14.7968, because the second 36% is taken of a bigger number.
