How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 850 ÷ 100 = 8.5
  2. Multiply: 8.5 × 10 = 85
  3. Check: Work backwards: 85 ÷ 10 × 100 = 850%.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 850/100 = part/10, so part = 850 × 10 ÷ 100 = 85. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =850%*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

Because 850% is more than 100%, the answer is bigger than 10: it is 8.5 times 10.

Mark-ups: pricing an item at 850% of its $10 cost means selling it for $85.

Adding and taking away 850%

Increasing 10 by 850% gives 95. These do not cancel out: raising 10 by 850% and then lowering the result by 850% ends at -712.5, because the second 850% is taken of a bigger number.
