How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 20 ÷ 89 = 0.224719
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.224719 × 100 = 22.4719%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 22.4719% of 89 is 0.224719 × 89 = 20.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 20/89 = p/100, so p = 20 × 100 ÷ 89 = 22.4719%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =20/89*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 89. The part that is left, 69, is the other 77.5281%.
