How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 82 ÷ 100 = 0.82
- Multiply: 0.82 × 17 = 13.94
- Check: Work backwards: 13.94 ÷ 17 × 100 = 82%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 82/100 = part/17, so part = 82 × 17 ÷ 100 = 13.94. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =82%*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 82%
Increasing 17 by 82% gives 30.94 and decreasing it by 82% gives 3.06. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 82% and then lowering the result by 82% ends at 5.5692, because the second 82% is taken of a bigger number.
