How to work it out

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

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

In a spreadsheet: =70/70%. 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

70 is the 70% share of 100. The other 30% is 30.

Discounts: if 70 dollars is a 70% saving, the original price was $100.

Using 1% as a stepping stone

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