How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 67 ÷ 100 = 0.67
  2. Multiply: 0.67 × 17 = 11.39
  3. Check: Work backwards: 11.39 ÷ 17 × 100 = 67%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 67/100 = part/17, so part = 67 × 17 ÷ 100 = 11.39. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =67%*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

11.39 is the 67% share of 17. The remaining 33% is 5.61, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Discounts: 67% off an item priced $17 saves $11.39, so you pay $5.61.

Adding and taking away 67%

Increasing 17 by 67% gives 28.39 and decreasing it by 67% gives 5.61. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 67% and then lowering the result by 67% ends at 9.3687, because the second 67% is taken of a bigger number.
