How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
  2. Multiply: 0.1 × 700 = 70
  3. Check: Work backwards: 70 ÷ 700 × 100 = 10%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/100 = part/700, so part = 10 × 700 ÷ 100 = 70. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10%*700. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.

What the result means

70 is the 10% share of 700. The remaining 90% is 630, and the two parts add back up to 700.

Discounts: 10% off an item priced $700 saves $70, so you pay $630.

Adding and taking away 10%

Increasing 700 by 10% gives 770 and decreasing it by 10% gives 630. These do not cancel out: raising 700 by 10% and then lowering the result by 10% ends at 693, because the second 10% is taken of a bigger number.
