How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 27 = 0.37037
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.37037 × 100 = 37.037%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 37.037% of 27 is 0.37037 × 27 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/27 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 27 = 37.037%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/27*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

10 is between a quarter and a half of 27. The part that is left, 17, is the other 62.963%.

Test scores: 10 correct answers out of 27 is a score of 37.037%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 10 is 37.037% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 0.37037 = 27. And 27 as a percentage of 10 is 270%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
