How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 125 ÷ 400 = 0.3125
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.3125 × 100 = 31.25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 31.25% of 400 is 0.3125 × 400 = 125.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 125/400 = p/100, so p = 125 × 100 ÷ 400 = 31.25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =125/400*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

125 is between a quarter and a half of 400. The part that is left, 275, is the other 68.75%.
