How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 71 ÷ 100 = 0.71
- Multiply: 0.71 × 17 = 12.07
- Check: Work backwards: 12.07 ÷ 17 × 100 = 71%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 71/100 = part/17, so part = 71 × 17 ÷ 100 = 12.07. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =71%*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
12.07 is the 71% share of 17. The remaining 29% is 4.93, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 71%
Increasing 17 by 71% gives 29.07 and decreasing it by 71% gives 4.93. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 71% and then lowering the result by 71% ends at 8.4303, because the second 71% is taken of a bigger number.
