How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 7 ÷ 14 = 0.5
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.5 × 100 = 50%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 50% of 14 is 0.5 × 14 = 7.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/14 = p/100, so p = 7 × 100 ÷ 14 = 50%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7/14*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

7 is exactly half of 14. The part that is left, 7, is the other 50%.

Test scores: 7 correct answers out of 14 is a score of 50%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 7 is 50% of a number, you can get that number back: 7 ÷ 0.5 = 14. And 14 as a percentage of 7 is 200%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
