How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 23 = 0.869565
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.869565 × 100 = 86.9565%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 86.9565% of 23 is 0.869565 × 23 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/23 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 23 = 86.9565%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/23*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 23. The part that is left, 3, is the other 13.0435%.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 86.9565% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.869565 = 23. And 23 as a percentage of 20 is 115%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
