How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 30 ÷ 250 = 0.12
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.12 × 100 = 12%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 12% of 250 is 0.12 × 250 = 30.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 30/250 = p/100, so p = 30 × 100 ÷ 250 = 12%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =30/250*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

30 is between a tenth and a quarter of 250. The part that is left, 220, is the other 88%.

Test scores: 30 correct answers out of 250 is a score of 12%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 30 is 12% of a number, you can get that number back: 30 ÷ 0.12 = 250. And 250 as a percentage of 30 is 833.3333%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
