How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 100 ÷ 400 = 0.25
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.25 × 100 = 25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25% of 400 is 0.25 × 400 = 100.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 100/400 = p/100, so p = 100 × 100 ÷ 400 = 25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =100/400*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

100 is between a quarter and a half of 400. The part that is left, 300, is the other 75%.

Test scores: 100 correct answers out of 400 is a score of 25%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 100 is 25% of a number, you can get that number back: 100 ÷ 0.25 = 400. And 400 as a percentage of 100 is 400%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
