How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 250 = 0.08
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.08 × 100 = 8%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 8% of 250 is 0.08 × 250 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/250 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 250 = 8%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/250*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 less than a tenth of 250. The part that is left, 230, is the other 92%.

Test scores: 20 correct answers out of 250 is a score of 8%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 8% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.08 = 250. And 250 as a percentage of 20 is 1,250%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
