How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 82 = 0.243902
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.243902 × 100 = 24.3902%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.3902% of 82 is 0.243902 × 82 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/82 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 82 = 24.3902%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/82*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
