Yes. The 17-3-11 shown in adrift's photo below are percentages of Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potash. I believe that particular fertilizer contains another 5% of "minors" and "micronutrients", plus about 64% of inert ingredients. All of the percentages are by weight, not volume -- even if you are looking at a liquid fertilizer.
