How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 205 ÷ 250 = 0.82
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.82 × 100 = 82%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 82% of 250 is 0.82 × 250 = 205.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 205/250 = p/100, so p = 205 × 100 ÷ 250 = 82%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =205/250*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.
