How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 400 = 0.175
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.175 × 100 = 17.5%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 17.5% of 400 is 0.175 × 400 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/400 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 400 = 17.5%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/400*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

70 is between a tenth and a quarter of 400. The part that is left, 330, is the other 82.5%.

Test scores: 70 correct answers out of 400 is a score of 17.5%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
