How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 68 ÷ 100 = 0.68
- Multiply: 0.68 × 25 = 17
- Check: Work backwards: 17 ÷ 25 × 100 = 68%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 68/100 = part/25, so part = 68 × 25 ÷ 100 = 17. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =68%*25. 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
17 is the 68% share of 25. The remaining 32% is 8, and the two parts add back up to 25.

Adding and taking away 68%
Increasing 25 by 68% gives 42 and decreasing it by 68% gives 8. These do not cancel out: raising 25 by 68% and then lowering the result by 68% ends at 13.44, because the second 68% is taken of a bigger number.
