How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 70 = 0.142857
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.142857 × 100 = 14.2857%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14.2857% of 70 is 0.142857 × 70 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/70 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 70 = 14.2857%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/70*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 70. The part that is left, 60, is the other 85.7143%.

Test scores: 10 correct answers out of 70 is a score of 14.2857%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 10 is 14.2857% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 0.142857 = 70. And 70 as a percentage of 10 is 700%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
