How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 83 ÷ 100 = 0.83
- Multiply: 0.83 × 17 = 14.11
- Check: Work backwards: 14.11 ÷ 17 × 100 = 83%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 83/100 = part/17, so part = 83 × 17 ÷ 100 = 14.11. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =83%*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
14.11 is the 83% share of 17. The remaining 17% is 2.89, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 83%
Increasing 17 by 83% gives 31.11 and decreasing it by 83% gives 2.89. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 83% and then lowering the result by 83% ends at 5.2887, because the second 83% is taken of a bigger number.
