How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 250 ÷ 1000 = 0.25
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.25 × 100 = 25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25% of 1000 is 0.25 × 1000 = 250.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 250/1000 = p/100, so p = 250 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =250/1000*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

250 is between a quarter and a half of 1000. The part that is left, 750, is the other 75%.

Test scores: 250 correct answers out of 1000 is a score of 25%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 250 is 25% of a number, you can get that number back: 250 ÷ 0.25 = 1000. And 1000 as a percentage of 250 is 400%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
