How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 39 = 0.512821
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.512821 × 100 = 51.2821%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 51.2821% of 39 is 0.512821 × 39 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/39 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 39 = 51.2821%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/39*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 39. The part that is left, 19, is the other 48.7179%.

Test scores: 20 correct answers out of 39 is a score of 51.2821%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 51.2821% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.512821 = 39. And 39 as a percentage of 20 is 195%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
