How to work it out

  1. Divide the part by the whole: 75 ÷ 250 = 0.3
  2. Multiply by 100: 0.3 × 100 = 30%
  3. Check: Work backwards: 30% of 250 is 0.3 × 250 = 75.

Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 75/250 = p/100, so p = 75 × 100 ÷ 250 = 30%. Both methods always give the same answer.

In a spreadsheet: =75/250*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

75 is between a quarter and a half of 250. The part that is left, 175, is the other 70%.

Test scores: 75 correct answers out of 250 is a score of 30%, which on a common US grading scale is an F.
