How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
- Divide the part by it: 35 ÷ 0.05 = 700
- Check: Work forwards: 5% of 700 is 0.05 × 700 = 35.
Another method. As a proportion: 35/whole = 5/100, so whole = 35 × 100 ÷ 5 = 700. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =35/5%. Multiplying the part by the percentage instead of dividing gives a smaller number. The whole must be bigger than the part whenever the percentage is below 100.
What the result means
