How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 64 ÷ 100 = 0.64
  2. Multiply: 0.64 × 17 = 10.88
  3. Check: Work backwards: 10.88 ÷ 17 × 100 = 64%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 64/100 = part/17, so part = 64 × 17 ÷ 100 = 10.88. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =64%*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

10.88 is the 64% share of 17. The remaining 36% is 6.12, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Discounts: 64% off an item priced $17 saves $10.88, so you pay $6.12.

Adding and taking away 64%

Increasing 17 by 64% gives 27.88 and decreasing it by 64% gives 6.12. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 64% and then lowering the result by 64% ends at 10.0368, because the second 64% is taken of a bigger number.
