How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 7 ÷ 21 = 0.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.333333 × 100 = 33.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.3333% of 21 is 0.333333 × 21 = 7.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 7/21 = p/100, so p = 7 × 100 ÷ 21 = 33.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =7/21*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 21. The part that is left, 14, is the other 66.6667%.

Test scores: 7 correct answers out of 21 is a score of 33.3333%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 7 is 33.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 7 ÷ 0.333333 = 21. And 21 as a percentage of 7 is 300%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
