How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 35 ÷ 500 = 0.07
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.07 × 100 = 7%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7% of 500 is 0.07 × 500 = 35.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 35/500 = p/100, so p = 35 × 100 ÷ 500 = 7%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35/500*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

35 is less than a tenth of 500. The part that is left, 465, is the other 93%.

Test scores: 35 correct answers out of 500 is a score of 7%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 35 is 7% of a number, you can get that number back: 35 ÷ 0.07 = 500. And 500 as a percentage of 35 is 1,428.5714%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
