How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 150 = 0.333333
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.333333 × 100 = 33.3333%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 33.3333% of 150 is 0.333333 × 150 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/150 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 150 = 33.3333%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/150*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

50 is between a quarter and a half of 150. The part that is left, 100, is the other 66.6667%.

Test scores: 50 correct answers out of 150 is a score of 33.3333%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 50 is 33.3333% of a number, you can get that number back: 50 ÷ 0.333333 = 150. And 150 as a percentage of 50 is 300%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
