How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 145 ÷ 500 = 0.29
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.29 × 100 = 29%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 29% of 500 is 0.29 × 500 = 145.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 145/500 = p/100, so p = 145 × 100 ÷ 500 = 29%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =145/500*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.

145 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 355, is the other 71%.
