How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 83 = 0.240964
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.240964 × 100 = 24.0964%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 24.0964% of 83 is 0.240964 × 83 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/83 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 83 = 24.0964%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/83*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 tenth and a quarter of 83. The part that is left, 63, is the other 75.9036%.

Turning it around

If you know that 20 is 24.0964% of a number, you can get that number back: 20 ÷ 0.240964 = 83. And 83 as a percentage of 20 is 415%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
