How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 240 ÷ 300 = 0.8
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.8 × 100 = 80%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80% of 300 is 0.8 × 300 = 240.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 240/300 = p/100, so p = 240 × 100 ÷ 300 = 80%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =240/300*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

240 is more than three quarters of 300. The part that is left, 60, is the other 20%.

Test scores: 240 correct answers out of 300 is a score of 80%, which on a common US grading scale is a B.

Turning it around

If you know that 240 is 80% of a number, you can get that number back: 240 ÷ 0.8 = 300. And 300 as a percentage of 240 is 125%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
