How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 73 = 0.273973
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.273973 × 100 = 27.3973%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 27.3973% of 73 is 0.273973 × 73 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/73 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 73 = 27.3973%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/73*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 between a quarter and a half of 73. The part that is left, 53, is the other 72.6027%.

Turning it around
