How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 50 ÷ 100 = 0.5
- Divide the part by it: 35 ÷ 0.5 = 70
- Check: Work forwards: 50% of 70 is 0.5 × 70 = 35.
Another method. As a proportion: 35/whole = 50/100, so whole = 35 × 100 ÷ 50 = 70. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =35/50%. 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
35 is the 50% share of 70. The other 50% is 35.
Discounts: if 35 dollars is a 50% saving, the original price was $70.
Using 1% as a stepping stone
If 50% is 35, then 1% is 35 ÷ 50 = 0.7, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 7, 50% is 35 and 100% is 70.
