How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 165 ÷ 500 = 0.33
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.33 × 100 = 33%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33% of 500 is 0.33 × 500 = 165.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 165/500 = p/100, so p = 165 × 100 ÷ 500 = 33%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =165/500*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.

What the result means

165 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 335, is the other 67%.
