How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 45 ÷ 250 = 0.18
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.18 × 100 = 18%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 18% of 250 is 0.18 × 250 = 45.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 45/250 = p/100, so p = 45 × 100 ÷ 250 = 18%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =45/250*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

45 is between a tenth and a quarter of 250. The part that is left, 205, is the other 82%.
