How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 200 = 0.25
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.25 × 100 = 25%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 25% of 200 is 0.25 × 200 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/200 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 200 = 25%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/200*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 200. The part that is left, 150, is the other 75%.

Test scores: 50 correct answers out of 200 is a score of 25%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 50 is 25% of a number, you can get that number back: 50 ÷ 0.25 = 200. And 200 as a percentage of 50 is 400%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
