How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 57 ÷ 100 = 0.57
  2. Multiply: 0.57 × 17 = 9.69
  3. Check: Work backwards: 9.69 ÷ 17 × 100 = 57%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 57/100 = part/17, so part = 57 × 17 ÷ 100 = 9.69. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =57%*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

9.69 is the 57% share of 17. The remaining 43% is 7.31, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Discounts: 57% off an item priced $17 saves $9.69, so you pay $7.31.

Adding and taking away 57%

Increasing 17 by 57% gives 26.69 and decreasing it by 57% gives 7.31. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 57% and then lowering the result by 57% ends at 11.4767, because the second 57% is taken of a bigger number.
