How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 97 ÷ 10 = 9.7
  2. Multiply by 100: 9.7 × 100 = 970%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 970% of 10 is 9.7 × 10 = 97.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 97/10 = p/100, so p = 97 × 100 ÷ 10 = 970%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =97/10*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

97 is more than the whole amount (9.7 times as much) of 10. 97 goes past 10 by 87, which is another 870% on top of the whole.

Targets: selling 97 items against a target of 10 means reaching 970% of the target, beating it by 870%.

Turning it around

If you know that 97 is 970% of a number, you can get that number back: 97 ÷ 9.7 = 10. And 10 as a percentage of 97 is 10.3093%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
