How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 150 ÷ 1000 = 0.15
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.15 × 100 = 15%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 15% of 1000 is 0.15 × 1000 = 150.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 150/1000 = p/100, so p = 150 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 15%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =150/1000*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

150 is between a tenth and a quarter of 1000. The part that is left, 850, is the other 85%.

Test scores: 150 correct answers out of 1000 is a score of 15%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 150 is 15% of a number, you can get that number back: 150 ÷ 0.15 = 1000. And 1000 as a percentage of 150 is 666.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
