Hello,

Can I use "of" with the meaning "out of". For example, "Out of 10 customers 7 said....../ Of 10 customers 7 said.....
  

Top answer

You would normally say 7 (out) of 10 customers said.... (you can omit "out" if you want to) Reversing the original word order would be unusual but not really incorrect.
