How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 74 ÷ 100 = 0.74
- Multiply: 0.74 × 17 = 12.58
- Check: Work backwards: 12.58 ÷ 17 × 100 = 74%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 74/100 = part/17, so part = 74 × 17 ÷ 100 = 12.58. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =74%*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

Adding and taking away 74%
Increasing 17 by 74% gives 29.58 and decreasing it by 74% gives 4.42. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 74% and then lowering the result by 74% ends at 7.6908, because the second 74% is taken of a bigger number.
