How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 500 = 0.14
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.14 × 100 = 14%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 14% of 500 is 0.14 × 500 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/500 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 500 = 14%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/500*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 500. The part that is left, 430, is the other 86%.

Test scores: 70 correct answers out of 500 is a score of 14%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 70 is 14% of a number, you can get that number back: 70 ÷ 0.14 = 500. And 500 as a percentage of 70 is 714.2857%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
