How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 190 ÷ 500 = 0.38
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.38 × 100 = 38%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 38% of 500 is 0.38 × 500 = 190.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 190/500 = p/100, so p = 190 × 100 ÷ 500 = 38%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =190/500*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.

190 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 310, is the other 62%.
