How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 5 ÷ 150 = 0.033333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.033333 × 100 = 3.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 3.3333% of 150 is 0.033333 × 150 = 5.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 5/150 = p/100, so p = 5 × 100 ÷ 150 = 3.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =5/150*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

5 is less than a tenth of 150. The part that is left, 145, is the other 96.6667%.

Test scores: 5 correct answers out of 150 is a score of 3.3333%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 5 is 3.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 5 ÷ 0.033333 = 150. And 150 as a percentage of 5 is 3,000%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
