How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 21 = 0.952381
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.952381 × 100 = 95.2381%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 95.2381% of 21 is 0.952381 × 21 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/21 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 21 = 95.2381%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/21*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

20 is more than three quarters of 21. The part that is left, 1, is the other 4.7619%.

Test scores: 20 correct answers out of 21 is a score of 95.2381%, which on a common US grading scale is an A.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 95.2381% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.952381 = 21. And 21 as a percentage of 20 is 105%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
