How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 10 ÷ 250 = 0.04
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.04 × 100 = 4%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 4% of 250 is 0.04 × 250 = 10.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 10/250 = p/100, so p = 10 × 100 ÷ 250 = 4%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =10/250*100. Dividing the wrong way round (whole ÷ part) gives a different answer. The number after “of” is always the whole, so it goes on the bottom.

What the result means

10 is less than a tenth of 250. The part that is left, 240, is the other 96%.

Test scores: 10 correct answers out of 250 is a score of 4%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 10 is 4% of a number, you can get that number back: 10 ÷ 0.04 = 250. And 250 as a percentage of 10 is 2,500%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
