How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 7 = 1.428571
  2. Multiply by 100: 1.428571 × 100 = 142.8571%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 142.8571% of 7 is 1.428571 × 7 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/7 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 7 = 142.8571%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/7*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 more than the whole amount (1.429 times as much) of 7. 10 goes past 7 by 3, which is another 42.8571% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 10 items against a target of 7 means reaching 142.8571% of the target, beating it by 42.8571%.

Turning it around

If you know that 10 is 142.8571% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 1.428571 = 7. And 7 as a percentage of 10 is 70%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
