How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 260 ÷ 500 = 0.52
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.52 × 100 = 52%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 52% of 500 is 0.52 × 500 = 260.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 260/500 = p/100, so p = 260 × 100 ÷ 500 = 52%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =260/500*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

260 is more than half but less than three quarters of 500. The part that is left, 240, is the other 48%.

Test scores: 260 correct answers out of 500 is a score of 52%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
