How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 125 ÷ 300 = 0.416667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.416667 × 100 = 41.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 41.6667% of 300 is 0.416667 × 300 = 125.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 125/300 = p/100, so p = 125 × 100 ÷ 300 = 41.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =125/300*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.
