How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 97 ÷ 100 = 0.97
- Multiply: 0.97 × 17 = 16.49
- Check: Work backwards: 16.49 ÷ 17 × 100 = 97%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/100 = part/17, so part = 97 × 17 ÷ 100 = 16.49. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =97%*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
16.49 is the 97% share of 17. The remaining 3% is 0.51, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 97%
Increasing 17 by 97% gives 33.49 and decreasing it by 97% gives 0.51. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 97% and then lowering the result by 97% ends at 1.0047, because the second 97% is taken of a bigger number.
