How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 385 ÷ 500 = 0.77
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.77 × 100 = 77%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 77% of 500 is 0.77 × 500 = 385.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 385/500 = p/100, so p = 385 × 100 ÷ 500 = 77%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =385/500*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.
