How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 99 ÷ 100 = 0.99
- Multiply: 0.99 × 17 = 16.83
- Check: Work backwards: 16.83 ÷ 17 × 100 = 99%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 99/100 = part/17, so part = 99 × 17 ÷ 100 = 16.83. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =99%*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
16.83 is the 99% share of 17. The remaining 1% is 0.17, and the two parts add back up to 17.

Adding and taking away 99%
Increasing 17 by 99% gives 33.83 and decreasing it by 99% gives 0.17. These do not cancel out: raising 17 by 99% and then lowering the result by 99% ends at 0.3383, because the second 99% is taken of a bigger number.
