How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 52 ÷ 100 = 0.52
- Multiply: 0.52 × 17 = 8.84
- Check: Work backwards: 8.84 ÷ 17 × 100 = 52%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 52/100 = part/17, so part = 52 × 17 ÷ 100 = 8.84. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =52%*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
8.84 is the 52% share of 17. The remaining 48% is 8.16, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 52%
Increasing 17 by 52% gives 25.84 and decreasing it by 52% gives 8.16. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 52% and then lowering the result by 52% ends at 12.4032, because the second 52% is taken of a bigger number.
