How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 550 ÷ 1000 = 0.55
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.55 × 100 = 55%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 55% of 1000 is 0.55 × 1000 = 550.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 550/1000 = p/100, so p = 550 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 55%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =550/1000*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

550 is more than half but less than three quarters of 1000. The part that is left, 450, is the other 45%.

Test scores: 550 correct answers out of 1000 is a score of 55%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 550 is 55% of a number, you can get that number back: 550 ÷ 0.55 = 1000. And 1000 as a percentage of 550 is 181.8182%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
