How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 12 ÷ 90 = 0.133333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.133333 × 100 = 13.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 13.3333% of 90 is 0.133333 × 90 = 12.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 12/90 = p/100, so p = 12 × 100 ÷ 90 = 13.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =12/90*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

12 is between a tenth and a quarter of 90. The part that is left, 78, is the other 86.6667%.

Test scores: 12 correct answers out of 90 is a score of 13.3333%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
