How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 24 ÷ 36 = 0.666667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.666667 × 100 = 66.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 66.6667% of 36 is 0.666667 × 36 = 24.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 24/36 = p/100, so p = 24 × 100 ÷ 36 = 66.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =24/36*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

24 is more than half but less than three quarters of 36. The part that is left, 12, is the other 33.3333%.

Test scores: 24 correct answers out of 36 is a score of 66.6667%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 24 is 66.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 24 ÷ 0.666667 = 36. And 36 as a percentage of 24 is 150%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
