How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 48 ÷ 60 = 0.8
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.8 × 100 = 80%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 80% of 60 is 0.8 × 60 = 48.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 48/60 = p/100, so p = 48 × 100 ÷ 60 = 80%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =48/60*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

48 is more than three quarters of 60. The part that is left, 12, is the other 20%.

Test scores: 48 correct answers out of 60 is a score of 80%, which on a common US grading scale is a B.

Turning it around

If you know that 48 is 80% of a number, you can get that number back: 48 ÷ 0.8 = 60. And 60 as a percentage of 48 is 125%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
