How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 245 ÷ 500 = 0.49
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.49 × 100 = 49%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 49% of 500 is 0.49 × 500 = 245.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 245/500 = p/100, so p = 245 × 100 ÷ 500 = 49%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =245/500*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

245 is between a quarter and a half of 500. The part that is left, 255, is the other 51%.
