How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 58 ÷ 100 = 0.58
- Multiply: 0.58 × 17 = 9.86
- Check: Work backwards: 9.86 ÷ 17 × 100 = 58%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 58/100 = part/17, so part = 58 × 17 ÷ 100 = 9.86. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =58%*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
9.86 is the 58% share of 17. The remaining 42% is 7.14, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 58%
Increasing 17 by 58% gives 26.86 and decreasing it by 58% gives 7.14. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 58% and then lowering the result by 58% ends at 11.2812, because the second 58% is taken of a bigger number.
