How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 4 ÷ 25 = 0.16
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.16 × 100 = 16%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16% of 25 is 0.16 × 25 = 4.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 4/25 = p/100, so p = 4 × 100 ÷ 25 = 16%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =4/25*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

4 is between a tenth and a quarter of 25. The part that is left, 21, is the other 84%.

Test scores: 4 correct answers out of 25 is a score of 16%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 4 is 16% of a number, you can get that number back: 4 ÷ 0.16 = 25. And 25 as a percentage of 4 is 625%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
