How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 220 ÷ 500 = 0.44
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.44 × 100 = 44%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 44% of 500 is 0.44 × 500 = 220.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 220/500 = p/100, so p = 220 × 100 ÷ 500 = 44%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =220/500*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

220 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 280, is the other 56%.

Test scores: 220 correct answers out of 500 is a score of 44%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around
