How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 6 ÷ 90 = 0.066667
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.066667 × 100 = 6.6667%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 6.6667% of 90 is 0.066667 × 90 = 6.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 6/90 = p/100, so p = 6 × 100 ÷ 90 = 6.6667%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =6/90*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

6 is less than a tenth of 90. The part that is left, 84, is the other 93.3333%.

Test scores: 6 correct answers out of 90 is a score of 6.6667%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.

Turning it around

If you know that 6 is 6.6667% of a number, you can get that number back: 6 ÷ 0.066667 = 90. And 90 as a percentage of 6 is 1,500%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
