How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 50 ÷ 300 = 0.166667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.166667 × 100 = 16.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 16.6667% of 300 is 0.166667 × 300 = 50.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 50/300 = p/100, so p = 50 × 100 ÷ 300 = 16.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =50/300*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 tenth and a quarter of 300. The part that is left, 250, is the other 83.3333%.
