How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 165 ÷ 300 = 0.55
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.55 × 100 = 55%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55% of 300 is 0.55 × 300 = 165.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 165/300 = p/100, so p = 165 × 100 ÷ 300 = 55%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =165/300*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.

What the result means

165 is more than half but less than three quarters of 300. The part that is left, 135, is the other 45%.

Test scores: 165 correct answers out of 300 is a score of 55%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
