How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 51 ÷ 100 = 0.51
- Multiply: 0.51 × 17 = 8.67
- Check: Work backwards: 8.67 ÷ 17 × 100 = 51%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 51/100 = part/17, so part = 51 × 17 ÷ 100 = 8.67. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =51%*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
8.67 is the 51% share of 17. The remaining 49% is 8.33, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 51%
Increasing 17 by 51% gives 25.67 and decreasing it by 51% gives 8.33. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 51% and then lowering the result by 51% ends at 12.5783, because the second 51% is taken of a bigger number.
