How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 45 = 0.222222
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.222222 × 100 = 22.2222%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.2222% of 45 is 0.222222 × 45 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/45 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 45 = 22.2222%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/45*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 tenth and a quarter of 45. The part that is left, 35, is the other 77.7778%.

Test scores: 10 correct answers out of 45 is a score of 22.2222%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 10 is 22.2222% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 0.222222 = 45. And 45 as a percentage of 10 is 450%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
