How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 310 ÷ 500 = 0.62
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.62 × 100 = 62%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 62% of 500 is 0.62 × 500 = 310.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 310/500 = p/100, so p = 310 × 100 ÷ 500 = 62%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =310/500*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

310 is more than half but less than three quarters of 500. The part that is left, 190, is the other 38%.

Test scores: 310 correct answers out of 500 is a score of 62%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 310 is 62% of a number, you can get that number back: 310 ÷ 0.62 = 500. And 500 as a percentage of 310 is 161.2903%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
