How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 7 ÷ 15 = 0.466667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.466667 × 100 = 46.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 46.6667% of 15 is 0.466667 × 15 = 7.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/15 = p/100, so p = 7 × 100 ÷ 15 = 46.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7/15*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 between a quarter and a half of 15. The part that is left, 8, is the other 53.3333%.

Test scores: 7 correct answers out of 15 is a score of 46.6667%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
