How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 71 = 0.070423
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.070423 × 100 = 7.0423%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 7.0423% of 71 is 0.070423 × 71 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/71 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 71 = 7.0423%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/71*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

5 is less than a tenth of 71. The part that is left, 66, is the other 92.9577%.

Test scores: 5 correct answers out of 71 is a score of 7.0423%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
