How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 70 ÷ 250 = 0.28
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.28 × 100 = 28%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 28% of 250 is 0.28 × 250 = 70.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 70/250 = p/100, so p = 70 × 100 ÷ 250 = 28%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =70/250*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.

What the result means

70 is between a quarter and a half of 250. The part that is left, 180, is the other 72%.
