How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 31 = 0.645161
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.645161 × 100 = 64.5161%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 64.5161% of 31 is 0.645161 × 31 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/31 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 31 = 64.5161%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/31*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 half but less than three quarters of 31. The part that is left, 11, is the other 35.4839%.

Test scores: 20 correct answers out of 31 is a score of 64.5161%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 64.5161% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.645161 = 31. And 31 as a percentage of 20 is 155%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
