How to work it out

  1. Turn the percentage into a decimal: 70 ÷ 100 = 0.7
  2. Divide the part by it: 35 ÷ 0.7 = 50
  3. Check: Work forwards: 70% of 50 is 0.7 × 50 = 35.

Another method. As a proportion: 35/whole = 70/100, so whole = 35 × 100 ÷ 70 = 50. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =35/70%. 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 70% share of 50. The other 30% is 15.

Discounts: if 35 dollars is a 70% saving, the original price was $50.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

If 70% is 35, then 1% is 35 ÷ 70 = 0.5, and any other percentage follows: 10% is 5, 50% is 25 and 100% is 50.
