How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 600 ÷ 1000 = 0.6
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.6 × 100 = 60%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 60% of 1000 is 0.6 × 1000 = 600.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 600/1000 = p/100, so p = 600 × 100 ÷ 1000 = 60%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =600/1000*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

600 is more than half but less than three quarters of 1000. The part that is left, 400, is the other 40%.

Test scores: 600 correct answers out of 1000 is a score of 60%, which on a common US grading scale is a D.

Turning it around

If you know that 600 is 60% of a number, you can get that number back: 600 ÷ 0.6 = 1000. And 1000 as a percentage of 600 is 166.6667%, a different answer, because the whole has changed.
