How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 65 ÷ 250 = 0.26
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.26 × 100 = 26%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 26% of 250 is 0.26 × 250 = 65.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 65/250 = p/100, so p = 65 × 100 ÷ 250 = 26%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =65/250*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.
