How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 84 ÷ 100 = 0.84
- Multiply: 0.84 × 17 = 14.28
- Check: Work backwards: 14.28 ÷ 17 × 100 = 84%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 84/100 = part/17, so part = 84 × 17 ÷ 100 = 14.28. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =84%*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
14.28 is the 84% share of 17. The remaining 16% is 2.72, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 84%
Increasing 17 by 84% gives 31.28 and decreasing it by 84% gives 2.72. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 84% and then lowering the result by 84% ends at 5.0048, because the second 84% is taken of a bigger number.
