How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
- Multiply: 0.7 × 10 = 7
- Check: Work backwards: 7 ÷ 10 × 100 = 70%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/100 = part/10, so part = 70 × 10 ÷ 100 = 7. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =70%*10. 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
7 is the 70% share of 10. The remaining 30% is 3, and the two parts add back up to 10.
Discounts: 70% off an item priced $10 saves $7, so you pay $3.
Adding and taking away 70%
Increasing 10 by 70% gives 17 and decreasing it by 70% gives 3. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 70% and then lowering the result by 70% ends at 5.1, because the second 70% is taken of a bigger number.
