How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 225 ÷ 500 = 0.45
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.45 × 100 = 45%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 45% of 500 is 0.45 × 500 = 225.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 225/500 = p/100, so p = 225 × 100 ÷ 500 = 45%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =225/500*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

225 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 275, is the other 55%.
