How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 43 ÷ 100 = 0.43
- Multiply: 0.43 × 17 = 7.31
- Check: Work backwards: 7.31 ÷ 17 × 100 = 43%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 43/100 = part/17, so part = 43 × 17 ÷ 100 = 7.31. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =43%*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
7.31 is the 43% share of 17. The remaining 57% is 9.69, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 43%
Increasing 17 by 43% gives 24.31 and decreasing it by 43% gives 9.69. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 43% and then lowering the result by 43% ends at 13.8567, because the second 43% is taken of a bigger number.
